DAPDNA-2 Application Case Study

    NTT Laboratories

  10Gbps packet classification and forwarding board
   enables world’s fastest firewall

  Press Release >>   


  NTT Laboratories choose DAPDNA-2 because.
1.  Dynamic reconfiguration capability allows "hot" update of processing function.
2.  DAPDNA-2's superior processing power allows the system to perform firewall packet      processing (filtering) while maintaining a wirespeed 10Gbps data transfer rate.


   What is the 10Gbps packet classification and forwarding board ?
      The new firewall solves major problems with existing firewalls. 
  1.

Network bandwidth continues to expand, but the firewall throughput has stalled at a few hundred Mbps, due to processor performance limitations, and becoming a bottleneck.

  2. The network must be halted temporarily to apply new detection algorithms to the firewall.

    NTT Laboratories decided to use IPFlex’s DAPDNA-2 to develop a firewall based on a 10Gbps     packet classification and forwarding board solving these longstanding problems.
