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 Build a 100 Gbit NetFlow Sensor Using nProbe Cento
When it comes to monitor a distributed network, to get a picture of the Network traffic flowing through the uplinks or on critical Network segments, NetFlow like technologies are usually the answer. nProbe Pro/Enterprise and nProbe Cento are software probes that can be used to build versatile sensors able to export flow information in many […]

Enabling Zeek and Suricata On-Demand at 40/100 Gbit using PF_RING
Overview Those of you who have some experience with IDS or IPS systems, like Zeek and Suricata, are probably aware of how CPU intensive and memory consuming those applications are due to the nature of the activities they carry on (e.g. signatures matching). This leads to high system load and packet loss when the packet […]
Introducing nProbe Cento 1.14
This is to announce a new release of the ntop’s 100 Gbit probe, nProbe Cento 1.14.
