A modern data center is faced with a variety of network monitoring challenges. Duplicate
packets create the largest challenge for IT and security personnel, including monitoring tool
oversubscription, false positives, and inaccurate performance reporting. It is estimated that
network monitoring traffic can consist of up to 55% duplicate packets that diminish tool
bandwidth, reduce storage capability, and decrease tool effectiveness.
Product Description
The APCON INTELLAFLEX Multi Function Blade provides the industry’s highest port density and
flexibility – offering 36 ports of 1G/10G Ethernet with packet deduplication, protocol stripping,
packet slicing, and time stamping with each service being selectable on every port. In addition,
INTELLAFLEX features such as packet aggregation, Multi Stage Filtering, and load balancing
allow this blade to be deployed in a standalone configuration, given its integrated aggregation
function, or interspersed within a chassis of varying INTELLAFLEX blades. This blade also
provides unprecedented scalability – up to 288 fully capable ports in an 8RU chassis.
Software Defined Services
The Multi Function Blade architecture is designed to be flexible to allow new services to be
incorporated in the future with software upgrades – providing investment protection.
Real Time Packet Deduplication
As each packet passes through this blade on ingress or egress, it can be compared to all
packets previously received through the same port within a configurable time window. If the
packet is considered a duplicate of a previously received packet, the packet is dropped and
not transmitted through the port.
Line Rate Packet Slicing
This INTELLAFLEX blade supports packet slicing on all packets. Network administrators
may configure each port on the blade to truncate each packet that passes through the
port to a preset number of bytes, with a new checksum (CRC) appended to the packet. All
packet slicing is performed at Ethernet line rate, selectable either on ingress or egress.
Nanosecond-level Time Stamping
Each packet can be precisely time stamped to sub-10ns precision on ingress or egress,
by universally coordinated time or system time. This feature allows precise reconstruction
of packet flow history. Supported timing protocols include GPS, IRIG-B, PTP, and NTP.
Timing may be synchronized among many Time Stamping blades and APCON switch
chassis, utilizing PPS or IRIG-B.

Specifications
Blade Functionality
Packet Deduplication
A key feature of APCON’s INTELLAFLEX Multi Function Blade is the ability
to perform packet deduplication on any traffic entering any port on the blade.
Each succeeding packet is compared to prior packets received. If a packet
is deemed to be a duplicate, it is discarded.

APCON’s Multi Function blade performs protocol stripping on any port, up
to 288 1G or 10G ports in an 8RU chassis.
Packet Slicing
If packet slicing is enabled on a port, packets are sliced at a defined number
of bytes to reduce bandwidth load at the monitoring device, or to remove
sensitive data from the monitoring stream. A new checksum (CRC) is
calculated and appended. Packet slicing is performed at line rate.

Timing Synchronization
By connecting each blade through the front-facing connectors or over
the switch backplane, you can synchronize any number of APCON
switches to a common time source, whether that source is GPS or a PTP
Grandmaster, increasing overall accuracy of time stamping across the
complete solution.

Protocols such as VLAN, VNTag, FabricPath, and others are used in
various network configurations and encapsulate the Ethernet data to help
build highly scalable Layer 2 multipath networks more efficiently. Such
networks are particularly suitable for large virtualization deployments,
private clouds, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
However this high level protocol must be removed and the actual classical
Ethernet frame must be sent to the monitoring tools so the correct
analysis can be accomplished.
I/G
U/L
Even correctly configured
SPAN ports may report
between one and four
copies of a given packet.
Duplicate packets can
represent as much as 55%
of total network traffic from
SPANs, multiple capture
points, and aggregations.
Duplicate packets overload
tools and hinder effective
network monitoring.
Eliminating duplicate
packets saves money and
enhances network visibility.

Common Use Cases
Monitoring for Performance Management
Any network monitoring system must deal with duplicate packets. In large scale and
multi-site deployments you can eliminate duplicate packets by utilizing APCON’s
Multi Function Blade featuring packet deduplication, packet slicing, time stamping,
aggregation, multicast, Multi Stage Filtering, and load balancing.
In addition, the ability to centralize, increase utilization, and re-use expensive analysis
tools can result in 77% cost savings over traditional deployment schemes.

Core and co-located data centers choose APCON
INTELLAFLEX for both latency monitoring and general
purpose monitoring concentrated in a single scalable
chassis. Data centers combine time stamping ports for
latency monitoring inputs with INTELLAFLEX ports for
latency monitoring outputs and general purpose monitoring
activities. This INTELLAFLEX Multi Function Blade allows

Packet slicing with the INTELLAFLEX Multi Function Blade can remove confidential
information to comply with regulatory requirements, and leave the packet headers
intact. Legislation such as HIPAA, PCI and others demand data confidentiality, and
stripping sensitive payload data
from packets before they go to
MAC
IP
TCP
Payload
monitoring tools ensures that any
sensitive data is not stored outside
secure boundaries. Packet slicing
increases tool utilization while
reducing data volume, creating
MAC
IP
UDP
TCP
Payload
greater efficiency, security and
decreases costs.
