Protocols
Netify Agent Protocols
Netify's protocol detection is built upon a high-performance implementation of the nDPI engine, optimized for carrier-grade throughput and low-latency environments. For engineers, this means access to a library of 300+ protocols that extends far beyond simple port-to-app mapping. To maintain visibility as network standards evolve, developers can track additions and modifications via our release log, ensuring that custom-built security logic stays aligned with the latest detection signatures.
Protocol Detection Optimization
Effective deployment at scale requires precise DPI engine tuning to balance detection depth with hardware resource constraints. Netify provides profile support to properly scope protocol detection in different deployment environments. For example, disabling specialized industrial or SCADA protocols on a consumer-facing gateway reduces CPU overhead and simplifies the data flow.
Firewall and QoS Protocols
By combining this selective tuning with the Flow Actions plugin, architects can implement wire-speed quality of service and policy enforcement, transforming Netify from a visibility tool into a proactive network policy engine.
Integrator APIs for Protocols
To facilitate seamless integration into proprietary dashboards and user interfaces, we provide the Integrator Protocol API. These endpoints serve as a metadata backbone, delivering the full protocol catalog, hierarchical categories, and historical changelogs as structured JSON objects.
