PacketTiger 1XL-40 Network Packet Broker
4 × NMC Slots (Up to 32 Ports) | Modular 1G/10G/40G/100G Packet Broker with 40 Gb/s Throughput
The PacketTiger 1XL-40 is a modular next-generation Network Packet Broker designed for scalable traffic optimization in data centre and perimeter network environments. It enables efficient port utilisation, advanced packet processing, and flexible deployment as either a standalone L2–L4 filtering solution or integrated network visibility platform.
Built on a modular NMC architecture, the system supports multiple interface combinations and high adaptability across 1G, 10G, 40G, and 100G environments. It delivers intelligent traffic handling capabilities including filtering, deduplication, masking, slicing, tunnelling, packet capture, and replay. Optional NetFlow/IPFIX and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) further enhance network intelligence, while hardware acceleration ensures consistent high-performance packet processing.
