FlowEngine™ Technology Focus Areas
SDN
• Flexible data plane functions that offers line-rate
performance
• Handling tens of millions of active flow entries for
large-scale SDN networks
• Adjustable flow (table) rules with processing
pipeline of variably sized tables with high rate of
flow modification per second
NFV Security
Thousands of
Network Functions
External
Network
Millions of Flows
• Line rate flow forwarding, classification, and
steering actions: Packet normalization, stateful
LB, NAT, ACL, fragmentation reassembly, etc.
• Network analytics through network tap, sampling,
and flow statistics
• Standard-based Service Function Chaining (SFC)
for application-awareness using ToS/DSCP
marking, segment routing, or VLAN and
NSH/SCH tagging
• Work load distribution & flow affinity for SPI
services - policy enforcement, video optimization,
application GW, security & related applications
• Autonomously create a rule with a suitable default
action for any new flow (flow entries through SDN
OpenFlow controller)

SFC Classifier
• Classifies packets to a service
function chain based on a set of
L2/L3/L4 header fields.
• Unique classification rule for millions
of subscribers.
• Expect non NSH encapsulated
packets.
• After classification, encapsulates
packets with NSH header (and
appropriate tunneling header) to
identify the service chain.
SFC Forwarder
Supports IETF Service function
forwarder function based on NSH
header.
Identify service chain instance
based on SPI/SI field.
Unique rules per service chain
instance or rendered path.
Potentially load balance flows
across a set of SF’s.
Support VxLAN-gpe, NvGRE
tunneling.
SF Proxy
Support legacy SF, i.e., SF’s that
don’t support SFC encapsulation.
Support for both stateful and
stateless SF’s.
Use of VLAN or MAC address to
save service function chain in
packet.
Option to dynamically learn and
maintain 5-tuple flows to map SF
packets to service chain.

Network Tap Benefits
• Increase security
• Forward all or selected flows in real time to security devices and services
• Drop flows on a per-subscriber, per-user, VLAN, application, source or destination
• Increase network awareness
• Forward selected flows to external networks for analysis or archive
• Create summary of network traffic in non-proprietary record (IPFIX)
• Reduce complexity
• Perform switching, load balancing, LI and Tap in a single device
• Reduce costs
• FlowEngine provides Tap functionality at less than 25 percent of the cost of the competition!

Use Case: Security Offload
• IPSec Offload
• IPSec Tunnel Termination
• IPSec VPN Throughput over 100 Gbps
• IPSec VPN Throughput over 60 Mpps
• ACL Offload
• 10,000+ 5-tuple ACLs
• Apply ACLs to encrypted traffic
• Ability to drop traffic of selected flows
• LI (Lawful Intercept) Offload
• Send matched flows to LI
• Ability to send encrypted flows to LI

More services, more connections, more devices
◦ More people doing more things, not just more people
More network complexity to manage those streams
◦ Virtualized environment
◦ Load balancing demands
FlowEngine key part of network management infrastructure
◦ SDN, NFV and Security
◦ Service Function Chaining, with scalable load balancing
Security is key
◦ FlowEngine supports Network TAP
◦ Offload for IPSec, ACL and Lawful Intercept
Network Virtualization is not the question – how you optimize,
manage and monetize the virtualized network is the critical
success factor
