The 4224E / 4216E Network Packet Broker is a hardware platform designed for TAP and SPAN traffic aggregation, filtering, replication, and load balancing across 1G, 10G, and 25G networks. It utilizes a non-blocking 1 Tb switching fabric to ensure deterministic traffic delivery and precise traffic steering to monitoring and security tools.
Built in a compact 1RU design, the platform serves as a centralized aggregation layer that distributes optimized data streams to SOC and NOC tools. By filtering and delivering only relevant packets, the packet broker reduces tool overload and improves analysis accuracy in various environments, including small on-premises data centers and hybrid networks.
