Advanced Network Packet Broker Platform
The new generation of X3-Series Network Packet Brokers enables complete visibility over packets and flows and complex advanced processing for extended visibility.
The X3-Series platform delivers versatile Network Packet Brokers with simple and advanced features, with different model densities available to suit deployment requirements optimally.
Advanced Network Packet Broker
ADVANCED TRAFFIC INTELLIGENCE
The X3-Series NPB offloads network security and performance monitoring tools by taking over advanced traffic optimization and shaping tasks, such as passive TLS Decryption, Data Masking, Packet Deduplication, NetFlow export and more.
By deploying an X3 advanced network packet broker, network blind spots can be eliminated, and network traffic handled by the device is shaped into actionable data.

X3-Series Network Packet Broker features
- Passive SSL/TLS decryption SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 – TLS 1.2
- Data masking
- Packet deduplication
- TCP packet reordering and fragments re-assembling
- Full tunneling capability
- Packet Slicing
- IMSI Filtering
- Timestamping
- Export NetFlow v5/v9
- L2-L7 Filtering, DPI
- Load Balancing
- Any-to-any Replication and Aggregation
- Microburst Protection
Data Masking
Passive Out-of-Band Decryption
- Decrypted traffic can expose confidential data to network engineers and analysts, resulting in security or privacy implications.
- The X3-Series can obfuscate sensitive data to comply with regulations and prevent data leakages.
- Data masking enables complete visibility into decrypted data without the risk of exposing sensitive data.
- With a passive out-of-band TLS decryption deployment, the X3-Series uses a private key to decrypt the SSL traffic and forwards the traffic to out-of-band security or analysis appliances.
- Supports TLS 1.2 and below
