80 Gbps Deep Packet Inspection Hardware Announced

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that Procera Networks is launching a new weapon on the deep packet inspection (DPI) front. At $800,000 these 80 Gbps tanks aren't going to be sitting in everyone's closet, but it could mean that more traffic shaping is on the way. "The PL10000 can handle up to 5 million subscribers and can track 48 million real-time data flows. That's certainly a potent piece of hardware, but larger ISPs will need more. That's why Procera designed the new machines with full support for synchronizing traffic flows where return traffic might be routed to a different PacketLogic machine. The machine receiving the return traffic can make the machine monitoring the outbound traffic aware that it sees the other half of a TCP/IP conversation, for example, giving the devices more accuracy than those which might only have access to one side."

How many Libraries of Congress...?

80 Gbps? Almost... 88 mph!

Joining separate incoming and outgoing paths? 5 million subscribers? Deep Packet? Surely the porn industry will invest in this technology.

Also - $800,000 for 80 Gbps? That's just 1 cent per kilobit per second! What a bargain!

I'm pretty sure porn will get 1st priority!
