Deep Packet Inspection

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a method of examining the full content of data packets as they traverse a monitored network checkpoint. DPI is part of DOCA SDK software solution for NVIDIA® BlueField®-2 DPU.

DPI provides a more robust mechanism for enforcing network packet filtering as it can be used to identify and block a range of complex threats hiding in network datastreams, such as:

• Malicious applications

• Malware data exfiltration attempts

• Content policy violations

• Application recognition

• Load balancing
