UCT-V

UCT-V (earlier known as G-vTAP) is an agent that is installed in the VM instance from where you want to receive the network traffic. This agent mirrors the selected traffic over a tunnel (GRE or VXL) from the instances (virtual machines) to the GigaVUE V Series Node. The UCT-V is offered as a Debian (.deb), Redhat Package Manager (.rpm) package and for Windows server ZIP package and MSI is offered.

Next generation UCT-V is a lightweight solution that acquires traffic from Virtual Machines and in-turn improves the performance of the UCT-V mirroring capability. The solution has a prefiltering capability at the tap level that reduces the traffic flow from the agent to GigaVUE V Series Node and in-turn reduces the load on the GigaVUE V Series Node. Next generation UCT-V gets activated only on Linux systems with a Kernel version above 5.4.

Note: The Precryption feature requires the kernel version to be 5.4 and above.

Prefiltering helps you reduce the costs significantly. It allows you to filter the traffic at UCT-Vs before sending it to the V Series nodes. For prefiltering the traffic, GigaVUE-FM allows you to create a prefiltering policy template and the template can be applied to a monitoring session.
