Architecture of Universal Container Tap
The following diagram illustrates the architecture of Universal Container Tap environment.
- The UCT Tap is registered with GigaVUE-FM through the UCT Controller
- GigaVUE-FM deploys the traffic policy on the UCTs.
Communication of configuration, data, and statistics to and from UCT is performed through the UCT Controller Service. GigaVUE-FM communicates with the UCT Taps through the UCT Controller. GigaVUE‑FM deploys the traffic policy on UCT and receives the statistics from UCT tap through UCT controller. - The customer workload collects the network traffic and sends the network packets to the Kernel space.
- The Kernel space filters the packets based on the rules and filters.
- The filtered network packets are tunneled directly to the Tools or through the GigaVUE V Series nodes running on any supported GigaVUE Cloud Suite on cloud environment.
- The UCT Controller collects the data from UCT Taps and sends the collected statistics and heartbeats to GigaVUE-FM.
