(NAVL)
True layer 7 DPI technology for
application identification and
metadata extraction
NAVL is delivered as an OEM
software development kit (SDK)
to dramatically reduce the time,
cost and complexity of adding
DPI technology and application
intelligence to your network.
KEY SYSTEM
BENEFITS
Advanced DPI technology
Industry-leading application identification
and extraction for greater visibility of
Layer 7 traffic
Easily add deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to enable real-time layer-7
application identification in your broadband network.
Proceras Network Application Visibility Library (NAVL) uses next-generation deep packet
inspection (DPI) technology to enable real-time, Layer-7 application identification and
metadata extraction for network traffic.
NAVL delivers industry-leading network coverage and accuracy, together with
the fastest throughput and lowest memory footprint in the market. NAVL uses a
combination of deep packet and deep flow inspection techniques to accurately identify
complex and rapidly changing applications, including social networking, P2P, instant
messaging, file sharing, enterprise, Web 2.0 applications, and tunneling protocols (for
a complete list of supported applications, visit www.applabs.proceranetworks.com).
NAVLs metadata and content extraction architecture allows access to very detailed
information and content contained within the packet flow.
PacketLogic solutions enable a variety of use cases that provide significant benefits to fixed
and mobile broadband operators, including:
Delivered as SDK
Rapid, cost-effective network
implementation
Surgical Pattern Matching The NAVL engine optimizes pattern matching by selectively
identifying contextually relevant patterns at precise locations within each data stream.
Real-time identification
Provides valuable insight into application
traffic as it occurs

VISIBILITY LIBRARY
(NAVL)
NAVL operates as a user space
library and is easily integrated
into the host system through
defined API calls that provide
input and output via packet or
data stream interfaces. NAVL
is a thread-safe and lock-free
library allowing near linear
performance scalability to fully
leverage the rapid increase in
multi-core processor densities.
The solution is also customizable
with a packbased or streambased interface and optimized
connection management.
NAVL RESULTS
Traffic identification results are returned as an application stack that can contain both
application IDs and application-specific attributes. Examples include:
http.url
http.host
http.content_type
facebook.post
facebook.login
pop3.from
faceboook.search
query.sip.caller.sip
callee.pop3.sender
Performance
Low memory footprint allowing integration
into wide range of hardware platforms,
from small, embedded devices to large
ATCA chassis.
