AlcaLu Identifies Deep Packet Potential
Ray Le Maistre writes on Light Reading:
The IP team at Alcatel-Lucent plans to develop its own deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities that can be integrated into the vendor's edge routers, according to Basil Alwan, president of the vendor's IP business....or block them altogether. -ferg
Alwan, who has just been handed additional responsibilities following a revamp of AlcaLu's Carrier Business Group, told Light Reading "there's good reason to invest" in DPI capabilities. "Investing in [DPI] makes a lot of sense and is part of our roadmap. We are going to do a lot with that technology," though nothing has yet been officially announced, he added.
AlcaLu currently has a number of partnerships to cover any current carrier customer requirements for DPI capabilities, including relationships with CloudShield Technologies Inc. and Sandvine Inc. With these partners, AlcaLu can meet the needs of service providers that want to identify P2P traffic on their networks and offer security-based managed services.
