Secure Tunnels

Secure Tunnel transfers the cloud captured packets from one GigaVUE V Series Node to another.

When sending traffic between two V Series Nodes, the source node captures and encapsulates the packets in PCAPng format. It then sends them to the destination V Series Node that decapsulates and processes the traffic based on your configuration.

How Does it Work!

• Forward packets from one V Series Node to another for further analysis.

• Apply processing features such as de-duplication, application intelligence, or load balancing.

• Use the built-in load balancer to distribute traffic across multiple V Series Nodes.

• If the load balancer sends packets to another node, it can re-encapsulate them and send them over another secure tunnel.
