The CUBRO Packetmaster combines up to 24 x 10/100/1000 ports and 2 x 10Gbit ports with the most powerful network process engine available on the market. This unit can handle up to 30Gbit IP Traffic per second. Basically the Packetmaster is a Test Access Port (TAP) but can do a lot more and is a high performance multipurpose IP traffic handling engine. It can also be used as router, switch, cross connect, aggregator, filter, load balancer ..

Link/Port Aggregation
Aggregation of up to 24 Ports or 12 links to a single or multiple output ports.

Filter
Filters traffic by IP address, port number and physical input port.

Load balancing
Load balances traffic by IP address, port number and physical input port.

Duplicated traffic remover
This function fully automatically removes duplicated packets. This function is extremely important when monitoring multiple links and entities where the same traffic is usually captured more than once.

10G traffic demultiplexer
If highly loaded 10G links have to be monitored the traffic can be easily demultiplexed into 24 low traffic Gbit links.

Flexible unit combination
Various units can be connected together – e.g. 240 input ports monitored at 24 output ports is straight forward and easy.

Cross connect function
Packetmaster can work as layer 3 cross connect plus aggregator and filter.

Jumbo Frame Support
The Packetmaster supports jumbo Ethernet frames with a size of up to 9000 Bytes – this feature is supported in all applications

Modular software concept and easy upgrade capabilties
Because of its open hardware and its flexible and modular software concept the Packetmaster can grow with customers requirements.

SFP and XFP Modules
For a maximum of flexibility the Packetmaster is designed to run with any kind of SFP and XFP

Rugged 19” Housing
The Packetmaster is delivered in a ruggedized 19” 1U housing with precise connector labeling on the front panel.

Different Power Versions
48 VDC or 230 VAC in dual and single power supply versions available.

Management
Management is possible over RS232 and Ethernet. Moreover a special option for in-band management is also available.

Easy use and operation
For straight-forward operation and supervision the Packetmaster supports SNMP and CLI.

Link/Port Aggregation
Aggregation of up to 34 ports or 16 links to a single or multiple output ports.

Filter
Filters traffic by IP address, port number and physical input port. As advanced option we offer the unique payload filtering „fingerprint filter“

Load balancing
Load balances traffic by IP address, port number and physical input port.

The Packetmaster EX product series has been developed to preaggregate low and medium loaded 10G links to save ports on expensive 10G traffic Analyzers and Capture tools. Alternatively the appliances can be used to automatically switch heavily loaded 10G links between different Analyser- and/or Capture ports.

Once wired, any tool connected to the Packetmaster EX can access any datalink tapped or spanned into the appliance. An intuitive, very easy to use Command Line Interface allows connecting ports to each other in seconds. Changing the setup of the appliance does not influence ports not being part of the change. Each port automatically becomes a 1G or 10G port depending on the SFP(+) used.
