PacketLion 1S2 Network Packet Broker
Versatile High-Density Network Packet Broker for Visibility
The PacketLion 1S2 is a versatile network packet broker designed for high-density visibility across 1G to 100G environments. It combines multiple SFP+ and QSFP28 ports with flexible fan-out options, enabling efficient aggregation and traffic distribution in mixed-speed networks. With 1.08 Tbps throughput and a non-blocking architecture, it ensures lossless performance, low latency, and reliable operation.
Advanced features include L2–L4 filtering, load balancing, packet slicing, and tunnel support for modern traffic types. With flexible deployment modes, stacking capabilities, and seamless integration with security and monitoring tools, it provides scalable, high-performance visibility for enterprise and data centre infrastructures.
