that increases total infrastructure coverage, provides connection
monitoring and enables a single integrated Gigamon solution

SSL/TLS Decryption • Decrypt once to feed many tools

• •
• •

Application Filtering •
• only those that are not of interest
• • Extract and treat each application,
or family of applications, uniquely based on threat potential and
each tool’s needs
•
teams make better decisions faster

Application Metadata • Automatically generate protocol and application attributes that

• are otherwise not attainable
• Improve performance, security, and customer experience with
• additional visibility
• Send to up to 4 collectors • Dynamically detect and obtain the latest updated AMI
attribute database

Application Visualization • Improve troubleshooting and capacity planning of your network

and monitoring infrastructure
• .
• Dynamically detect and obtain the latest updated application
signature database

5G and 4G LTE CUPS Correlation • Provides granular “subscriber awareness” visibility into 5G and

5G and 4G networks, where Gigamon nodes in different network monitoring, and broadens security coverage

Stateful Flow Sampling (FlowVUE®) • Achieve meaningful network monitoring without monitoring
Stateful user-session sampling based on IP address, and when every user’s or domain’s sessions
combined with GTP Correlation can sample based on subscriber •

samples for each tool port or tool port group from a common
pool of correlated control and user plane data

Subscriber-Aware Metadata • Provide subscriber-aware protocol and application attributes to

facilitate coherent application analytics for mobile networks
• Improve mobile network customer experience and security
to collectors management with additional visibility

Video Data Records • Allows GigaSMART modules to process video records for
video tools instead of having to use their probes
sending snippets of video stream packets to tools •
