With cybercrime taking the enterprise ecosystem by storm, the issue of securing a network infrastructure along with restricting employee access to unwanted internet resources is a top-of-mind priority ...

Researchers present a system for testing new traffic management protocols that requires no alteration to network hardware but still works at realistic speeds -- 20 times as fast as networks of ...

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a method of examining the content of data packets as they pass through the network. Contrary to conventional packet (or NetFlow) filters – which are devices that check ...

The field of packet classification is pivotal to modern network operations, underpinning the ability to manage data traffic efficiently and securely. This discipline involves algorithms and ...
