TopGun = Architecture of a Terabit DPI Platform
summary
Presents the architecture of a multi-purpose DPI (deep packet inspection) platform called TopGun that supports multi-terabit scaling and can be used for lawful intercept (SORM/PRISM), commercial PCEF/TDF traffic shaping, content filtering, and ad targeting. Describes its load-balancing method, swarm-intelligence-style (‘roem’) processing, and failover/replication approach based on replicating finite-state machines.
