EX48800
Network Packet Broker
The Packetmaster EX48800 is a high-performance network packet broker that aggregates, filters, replicates, and load balances network traffic to security, monitoring and management tools. Built on an advanced multi-core, industry-leading programmable switch chip, it ensures high-speed processing. The EX48800 delivers hardware-level filtering for unparalleled throughput and performance. With multilayer filtering and advanced tunnel removal, it is the perfect choice for overlay network visibility applications.

Deduplication by filtering in VXLAN overlay networks (VXLAN VNI and IP filtering)
Usually, duplicate traffic is caused by capturing the same traffic multiple times due to multiple tapping and/or aggregation devices.
Traffic between IP X and IP Y passes through the TAP twice, causing the same packets to appear twice at the TAP output. From the user’s perspective every packet is received twice.
The EX48800 offers an easy and straightforward way to eliminate these duplicates by allowing simultaneously filtering VXLAN VNI and inner IP.
