Procera Networks introduces “industry's highest-performance” DPI service creation platform for Tier-1 broadband providers

Procera Networks has announced PacketLogic PL10000, the latest in the PacketLogic family of products and currently said to be the industry's highest-performance DPI platform. With up to 80Gbps of throughput, PacketLogic PL10000 is purpose-built with Tier-1 broadband network deployments -- both wired and wireless -- in mind. With its introduction, service providers now have a platform that will support millions of subscribers while giving them the business intelligence, service creation, network visibility and control required to successfully roll out new revenue-generating services and optimize network performance. Generally available now, the PacketLogic PL10000 already has four service provider customers from around the world and is currently operating in production networks.

The PacketLogic PL10000 was designed as a carrier-grade platform to give service providers the scalability, reliability and flexibility they need to meet network requirements for today and tomorrow. It has four times the capacity of its nearest competitor, enabling a single deployment to handle millions of broadband service subscribers. This increased capacity, in combination with pertinent asymmetric traffic support and the "5 9s" reliability that carriers demand, enables deployment of PacketLogic anywhere in the network. Incorporating DRDL(TM), Procera's traffic identification engine, it also has a host of features that deliver industry leading accuracy.

In addition to its enhanced accuracy and performance, PacketLogic PL10000 is now shipping with version 12 of PacketLogic's firmware. This latest version of PacketLogic's firmware delivers all the functionality of previous versions while adding new features unique to the PacketLogic platform. Version 12 is shipping with all PacketLogic models, enabling the entire product family to co-exist and deliver the same advanced functionality.

PacketLogic PL10000 is an integrated chassis-based solution based on industry standard AdvancedTCA. This approach, compared to the clustering of multiple appliances, reduces potential problems for the service provider and enables seamless upgrades and integration. The PacketLogic PL10000 comes in two chassis sizes; a five-slot, 5U chassis and a 12U, 14-slot chassis.

There are four line card types:

- System Management (SM) module -- for systems administration like the user interface
- I/O line card (IO) -- 8 SFP+ interfaces for GbE/10GbE line-rate packet processing
- Flow Processing (FP) module -- more than 5Gbps Full Duplex per module
- Load Balancer (LB) module -- balances traffic internally between processors and FP modules
