Netify DPI - Version 5 Requirements
- Supported Operating Systems
- Supported Containers
- Installation Footprint
- Recommended Cores
- Performance Considertations
Netify is a lightweight, efficient deep packet inspection (DPI) and traffic intelligence solution. The following outlines the minimum and recommended requirements for deploying Netify on supported platforms.
Supported Operating Systems
Linux
- Kernel 3.10 or newer recommended
- x86_64, ARM and MIPS architectures supported
FreeBSD
- Version 13 or newer recommended
- x86_64 architecture supported
Supported Containers
Contact us for information on deploying Netify inside Docker or LXC/LXD containers.
Installation Footprint
Netify's installation requires approximately 10MB of storage. Additional space may be required for:
- Open-Source vs Commercial Signatures
- Installed Netify plugins
- Local logging or telemetry storage
- Local caching
Recommended Cores
Based on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v4 @ 2.20GHz
| PCAP | TPv3 | NFQUEUE | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active Flows | Minimum | Recommend | Minimum | Recommend | Minimum | Recommend |
| 1-500 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 or more |
| 500-1000 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 1000-100K | N/A | N/A | 4 | 6 | 2 | 3 |
| 100K + | N/A | N/A | 6 | 8 | 2 | 4 |
Performance Considerations
Netify performance can be highly influenced by:
- Packet capture rate and interface bandwidth
- Type of Bandwidth (long running flows vs short/sporatic)
- Number of active flows
- Type and number of plugins enabled
- Logging and telemetry frequency
- Configuration
