It gives a good outline of what DPI equipment can do but also got me wondering what equipment VM use for traffic shaping, anyone know? Do they use the cheaper shallow packet inspection or what? |
Hi
It's hard to say what software VM are using to packet sniff but in general terms it should only be used for monitoring network performance and faults that may arise from bandwidth leeches!
I only EVER use it for fault based issues and it's within our private network.
Thanks for that Alex. I was only speaking from my personal experience. I use Solarwinds and that has in-built packet sniffing software although we do have very clever program writers!
