Universal Cloud Tap - Container

Universal Cloud Tap - Container (UCT-C) earlier known as Universal Container Tap (UCT) is a containerized component that provides the network broker features in a containerized form. UCT-C can perform traffic acquisition, basic filtering, and tunneling support. UCT-C is deployed as a Pod in the given worker node where the workloads are running.

The UCT-C is deployed by Kubernetes orchestrator and not by GigaVUE-FM. UCT-C initiates the traffic acquisition process with UCT-C Taps.

Following are the modules implemented in UCT-C:

• Traffic Acquisition: UCT-C supports traffic acquisition by replicating the traffic from the worker pods..
• Filtering Module - UCT-Cprovides basic filtering based on 5-Tuple. The filtering configuration is pushed by the GigaVUE-FM.
• Tunneling Modules - UCT-C supports L2GRE, VXLAN, and TLS-PCAPngtunneling to sent the tapped traffic to the GigaVUE V Series or tools.

This guide provides an overview of Universal Cloud Tap - Container and describes how to install and deploy UCT-C components in your Pods.
