Allot Communications is the leading provider of intelligent IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI) technology.

The ability of Allot deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to identify and classify data packets at wire speed gives IP service providers an unparalleled view of all the traffic traversing their networks.  Allot DPI functionality goes beyond Layer 7 awareness to enable deep analysis of static and dynamic protocols, application signatures, content patterns, and session behavior such as connections per second, without overstepping privacy boundaries. This visibility is the key to controlling and optimizing IP service delivery.

With deep packet inspection from Allot, broadband service providers gain end-to-end visibility into:

• Subscriber usage patterns (per IP address or per user)
• Application usage patterns
• Most popular services (P2P, VoIP, online games, email, video…)
• Most popular applications (e.g., P2P: BitTorrent, KaZaa, eDonkey, Gnutella, MP2P, FastTrack…)
• Competing services and how much they use the network
• Malicious traffic on the network
• And much more…

Broadband service providers and enterprises around the world rely on Allot's DPI-based solutions for the granular visibility that is needed to monitor and analyze network usage; to control service delivery; to ensure quality of experience; to maximize ROI on infrastructure investments; and to increase average revenue per user.

The often-heard advice to "know your network" is needed by broadband and WAN operators more than ever before. Being able to identify the applications and users on the network, and to quantify and analyze the traffic they generate is an essential first step to capacity planning, to subscriber demographics and service optimization.

Placed at critical junctures in the network, Allot NetEnforcer devices use deep packet inspection technology to enable real-time monitoring, collection and processing of data directly from the network's traffic flows. At wire speed, Allot NetEnforcer inspects data packets at Layers 3-7, classifies the traffic, and provides these vital statistics to OSS and BSS systems, without degrading other services.

The granular usage statistics gathered by Allot devices throughout the network are transformed into a complete array of meaningful "network intelligence" by Allot's NetXplorer management system. Hundreds of real-time, interactive graphs, charts, and reports show who's doing what on the network - right now and over time - giving service providers the tools they need to drill down into individual traffic flows and to control service delivery according to service level agreements. Long-term reports highlight usage trends and take the guesswork out of future capacity and service planning.
