Challenges
• Not enough SPAN ports to connect all the tools
• Too expensive deployment for each link
• Too much unwanted traffic for tools (needed only specific
traffic from specific range of IP addresses)
• Low utilization of links – no need for probe on each link
• Compliance issues
• Deadline from management!

Director solves the problem!
• Aggregation: input from 14 full-duplex 1G links to only 8 outputs
• L2-L4 Filtering: filter for specific IPv4 or IPv6 address, MAC,
protocl, port number, VLAN tag or any L2-L4 criteria
• Any-tool-any-time: SFP based, connected both fiber and copper
interfaces with automatic media/data rate conversion!
• Modularity: 2 x 12 ports modules (copper or fiber) + 10 SFP ports
• Density: 4 x 10G ports + 34 x 1G ports
