Deduplication

Packet deduplication is a feature used to identify and eliminate duplicate network packets, improving network efficiency and reducing redundant data processing. It works by comparing incoming packets.

• Deduplication Process: Traffic is continuously analysed in real-time with a granularity of up to 8 milliseconds, enabling the rapid detection and elimination of duplicate packets. The analysis process begins by inspecting ingress packets for familiarity based on their type and fields. If a packet is found to exist within the customer-defined time frame, it is identified as a duplicate and dropped. Users can configure the Packet Source (Full or Routed Packet) to filter out redundant traffic, even across multiple hops. Anchor & Offset settings define where and how packet data is compared, while the Window Size (2-8ms) ensures efficient real-time deduplication. For detailed configuration, refer to this link GitBook.
