Introducing PF_RING FT: nDPI-based Flow Classification and Filtering for PF_RING and DPDK
Motivation Most network monitoring and security applications are based on flow processing, which is in practice the activity of grouping packets based on common attributes (e.g. source and destination IP, source and destination port, protocol, etc.) and do some analysis based on the collected information. What happens behind the scenes can be divided in a few major […]
