Netify DPI - Version 5 Requirements

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
Linux and BSD

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

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
