Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) are specialized network devices that provide visibility into network traffic. They are used to aggregate, filter, and replicate traffic from multiple sources, allowing network administrators to monitor and analyze network traffic. NPBs are used to improve network performance, security, and compliance. They can also be used to identify and troubleshoot network issues. NPBs are typically deployed in-line or out-of-band, depending on the network architecture. In-line NPBs are placed directly in the network path, while out-of-band NPBs are placed outside the network path. NPBs can also be used to provide load balancing and traffic shaping. NPBs are used in a variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, and government. They are also used in cloud computing and virtualized environments. Some companies in the Network Packet Broker market include Gigamon, Ixia, NetScout, and cPacket Networks. Show Less Read more
