We’re excited to announce the new nProbe 10.8 release! This release introduces features that improve visibility, performance, and protocol intelligence, while also addressing many community-requested improvements and fixes. Quality of Experience (QoE) Monitoring Understanding network performance from the user’s perspective is more important than ever. With QoE computation, nProbe now allows you to assess the […]
Released Cento 2.2: Enhanced Flow Offload, QoE Metrics, and GTP Correlation
We’re excited to announce a new release of Cento 2.2, our high-performance flow-based traffic processing engine. This release brings major enhancements in traffic analysis capabilities, particularly for mobile network monitoring, quality assessment, and flow offloading on Napatech adapters. Whether you’re deploying Cento in ISP-grade infrastructures or using it for deep traffic inspection, this release is […]
AI-Driven Networks: A ML Solution for 5G Networks based on nProbe
In this contributed post the Universidade de Aveiro, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal, explains how nProbe has be successfully used in 5G networks. Introduction As networks evolve to meet the demands of modern connectivity, the need for intelligent traffic monitoring and anomaly detection becomes increasingly critical. In the context of 5G networks, where high-speed data […]
Exporting (Custom) Flows with Avro in nProbe Cento
This summer we introduced nProbe Cento 2.0. Before this release, Cento was supporting JSON serialization only when exporting flows to Kafka. JSON is straightforward and widely used, but it can be verbose and less efficient for high-throughput or resource-sensitive environments. To address these challenges, when exporting flows to ntopng, some time ago we introduced a […]
How To Implement Packet and Flow Deduplication
Depending on the network topology and configuration, your monitoring tools can receive the same traffic multiple times. This problem is called data duplication. Duplication can happen at packet or flow level: Packet duplication The same packet is received multiple (usually twice) times, either one after the other, or within a short mount of time. Note […]
HowTo Configure Flow Collection in nProbe and ntopng
In flow (sFlow/NetFlow/IPFIX) collection, nProbe acts as a “flow processor” for ntopng . nProbe is responsible for sending ntopng flows after they have been processed that includes Probe mode. nProbe captures network packets that are converted into flows that are then exported to ntopng. Collection mode. nProbe collects flows produced by a probe such as a […]
Released Cento 2.0: Hardware Flow Table Offload, Avro Export and Much More
This is to announce that Cento 2.0 is out! This new major release introduces many new great features. First of all it adds support for offloading flows to Napatech SmartNICs featuring Flow Manager. This new feature has been presented at IEEE HPSR (IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing) and demonstrated to provide […]
Released nProbe 10.6: Reworked GTP support, Improved Kafka/ZMQ Export, Several Fixes
This is to announce the release of nProbe 10.6 that includes many changes in a couple of selected areas: Mobile traffic analysis (GTPv1 and GTPv2) and GTP-C/GTP-U correlation has been rewritten to support complexity of modern mobile networks. nProbe is now more friendly when talking ZMQ/Kafka (hence with ntopng) as it can report various statistics […]
Advancements in Traffic Processing Using Programmable Hardware Flow Offload
This week we have presented at the IEEE HPSR (IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing) our latest work that shows how nProbe can benefit of acceleration provided by modern SmartNICs to achieving multi-100 Gbit traffic processing (both passive and inline) on low-end servers while deep-packet inspecting traffic using nDPI. If you want […]
HowTo Use nProbe to Detect and Shape Traffic Using DPI
Not all the nProbe users know that they can use nProbe not just as a passive monitoring tool, but also for shaping and dropping netwok traffic based on DPI. Ryan Claridge has filled the gap by writing a great article that explains that in detail. Enjoy !
