Ixia Anue Net Tool Optimizer 5288 ADVANCED FEATURE MODULE (AFM)

MOD-P5200-X16D-ADV
16 x 10G Optical SFP+ Ethernet Port Advanced Feature Module
RELIABLE AND INTELLIGENT
PACKET PROCESSING
For better network security and higher profits, enterprises
today need complete and efficient access to the data that
traverses their networks. Yet privacy compliance
mandates strict control of corporate data and customer
personally identifiable information (PII).
The Ixia Net Tool Optimizer (NTO) Advanced Feature
Module (AFM) processes packets at line rate and
prepares data for analysis by security and monitoring
tools. It delivers advanced functions like real-time packet
de-duplication, time-stamping, and masking of personally
identifiable information (PII). With AFM, enterprises can
look deeper into their networks while maintaining
compliance to privacy regulations and delivering higher
security for their corporate and customer data.
ZERO-LOSS: BECAUSE EVERY PACKET
COUNTS
Ixia’s primary competitive differentiator with AFM is its
predictable, accurate, and lossless performance. The
AFM architecture ensures that no data is lost under any
conditions by dedicating high performance hardware to
the advanced packet processing. Ixia’s solution always
delivers the full 160Gbps of traffic no matter the
configuration or network conditions.
Other vendors’ products often use software-based
approaches to try to deliver similar functionality, but their
solutions max out at 40Gbps or less. Even then, third party testing from Tollyi demonstrated that those products
are unable to meet their advertised performance rating or
guarantee steady results as network conditions change.
 
KEY FEATURES 
Packet De-Duplication – Packet duplicates occur in visibility networks when a packet traverses
multiple taps or SPAN ports that generate multiple copies of the same packet. De-duplicating
packets reduces the amount of redundant data sent to
analysis tools, directly improving tool efficiencies and
preserving tool integrity. Flexible configuration
parameters allow ignoring specific headers and
controlling whether the deduplication window is
packet- or time-based (Up to 1/2 second for 10/40G and 1 second for 1G). 
Extended Burst Protection – Deep buffering allows monitoring tools to see every packet, even
under microburst conditions where aggregate bandwidth temporarily exceeds port capacity. This
condition commonly occurs when traffic from a high-speed network is adapted to feed a lower-speed
tool. Ixia’s extended burst protection allows data flow from higher-speed, bursty traffic to 1G tools. 
Packet Trimming – Many monitoring tools, especially legacy ones, only need to analyze packet
headers. In other monitoring applications, regulatory compliance requires tools remove sensitive
data from captured network traffic. The AFM can remove payload data from the monitored network
traffic, which boosts tool performance and keeps sensitive user data secure. 
Protocol Stripping –Monitoring tools, legacy or even modern ones, cannot analyze traffic
encapsulated inside of an unsupported protocol. The AFM enables tools to monitor all required data
by removing VLAN or QinQ, GTP, MPLS, VxLAN, VNTag, FabricPath, ERSPAN, and
L2GRE/NVGRE headers from the packet stream. 
L2GRE Tunnel Termination – Many virtual taps, including Ixia’s Phantom vTap, will originate VM
traffic in L2GRE encapsulation. AFM can terminate the L2GRE tunnel so plain Ethernet traffic can be
directed to tools for processing; hence removing the burden of tunnel termination from the attached
tools. 
Data Masking – Network operators commonly need to remove PII, such as credit card or social
security numbers, before providing the data to analysis tools. The AFM removes the data from the
packet in real-time and replaces it with a fixed-field value before forwarding to security and
monitoring tools. 
Time-stamping – Network operators require high-accuracy timestamps on packets to correlate
events with other device logs in low-latency financial data centers and to correlate traffic events
across a WAN. AFM can insert a high-accuracy timestamp into every packet at ingress. Timestamp
sources include local, NTP, and PTP (7300).
Double Your Ports – Network operators need more density to address the space and power
constraints of modern data centers. Ixia’s innovative Double Your Ports (Simplex) feature enables
the ports on an AFM module to be logically divided into two interfaces: one that connects to the
network tap, and the other that connects to the security or monitoring tool. This configuration allows
users to potentially double the number of active ports in use without adding any new hardware

ATTENTION PLEASE!

IXIA CLIENT SOFTWARE: The software provided on all Ixia items is the server software only. The server software has ixserver and ixplorer as the only desktop applications. The server application licensed features are accessed through various Ixia client applications that interact with the chassis server. 

You can download the Ixia client applications if you have online access with Ixia. These client applications are typically free from Ixia but you will need an Ixia logon account.  We offer a selection of these applications to our customers at no charge but the selection is incomplete.  We do not sell these with the servers as a package. Client application needs are the buyers responsibility, we do not guarantee that we will have all your needs though we will try to assist you if we can. We only guarantee the server applications as itemized in the listings.

In a single user environment you can set the client side GUI interface on a external PC or you can set them up on an application server when using a chassis in a multi-user environment to access and configure all the sub-license features included in a listing. Multiple chassis can be accessed in the client applications environment which allows you to use the licensed features of several chassis all at once in one interface.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET… What is included in this listing will be shown in the pictures. If you do not see an accessory  in the pictures and it is not specifically listed as included in the condition description or the listing description, the accessory is not included. Please read the descriptions completely for exceptions on this.

GENERAL REFUND POLICY:  You are covered with a full money back guarantee for at least 30 days or longer as specified in the listing, unless an item is indicated as “Sold as is – no returns”.  We go beyond that by promising that if you are dissatisfied for any reason and if we cannot fix this with you, we will give you 100% of your purchase price back as a cash refund. This will include the original shipping costs if your dissatisfaction ​​​​​​​ is due to an issue with the item you bought being “Not as described”.
