PacketLion 2L Network Packet Broker
High-Density Multi-Speed Network Packet Broker for Visibility
The PacketLion 2L is a high-density network packet broker built for reliable visibility in mission-critical environments. It features 32 QSFP28 ports supporting 40G and 100G, with breakout options enabling up to 128 lower-speed connections for flexible scaling. Powered by a 3.2 Tbps non-blocking architecture, it ensures zero packet loss, consistent performance, and efficient microburst handling with dedicated buffering.
The platform supports advanced filtering, load balancing, tunnel inspection, and packet slicing for optimised traffic control. With stacking capabilities, centralized management, and broad tool integration, it delivers scalable, high-performance packet visibility for modern hybrid networks and security-focused infrastructures.
