A Network Packet Broker (NPB) is a device that optimizes the flow of traffic between TAP and SPAN connections and network monitoring, security tools. The packet broker collects traffic from single or multiple network links, filtering and distributing each individual packet to the correct network monitoring tool by load balancing, which enhances the performance of network analysis and security tools.
The FS T5850-48S8C Network Packet Broker(NPB) features 48 SFP+ (1/10 Gbps) and 8 QSFP28 ports (100 Gbps) providing aggregation, replication, filtering, load balancing and deduplication in very high bandwidth port monitoring and analysis scenarios.
