Flow Filtering
Flow selection and filtering configurable on a per-tool basis,
based on:
• Layer 2, 3, and 4 criteria (5-tuple)
• Deep-packet (up to 128 bytes) pattern matching
• GTP outer and inner headers
• Packet length
• International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
• VLAN tags
Load Balancing
Balance trac load across multiple egress ports based on:
• Round-robin packet distribution
• IP hash
• GTP TEID and payload (inner) IP address
• International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
Layer 2–4 Flow Optimization
Packet modification features for optimized flow delivery:
• MPLS label and VLAN tag stripping
• Port labeling
• Packet slicing
• Time stamping
Mobile (Layer 7) Flow Optimization
Stateful optimization of mobile bearer and control flows:
• GTP correlation
• Subscriber (IMSI) aware forwarding
• Inter Radio Access Type (IRAT) transfer
aware forwarding
• Bearer flow deduplication (based on inner IP payload)
• Automated mobile network topology learning
Programmability
API access for real-time (sub 1 millisecond
flow programming)
Interface Modules
MLXe Packet Brokers support a wide range of leading-
edge interface modules for 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and
100 GbE. These modules are available in multiple versions
to meet dierent scalability requirements. This flexibility
allows network operators to use a single platform, which
they can optimize, for many deployment needs.

Extreme MLX® 20-port 1 GbE SFP+ and SFP combo
module. License upgradable to support 10 GbE.
• 20×10/1 GbE
Extreme MLX 20-port 10 GbE and 1 GbE SFP+ and SFP
combo module
• 4×40 GbE
Extreme MLX 4-port 40 GbE module with IPv4/ IPv6/
MPLS hardware support and support for QSFP+ optics,
including both LR and SR
• 2×100 GbE CFP2
Extreme MLX 2-port 100 GbE module with IPv4/ IPv6/
MPLS hardware support and support for CFP2 optics
Key Features
Flow Aggregation and Regeneration
Wire-speed 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE flow filtering and
forwarding on ports in a single line card or across several
line cards:
• Map bidirectional (uplink and downlink) flows to the
same network port
• Replicate flows from any network port to any tool port
on the same or dierent line cards
• Aggregate flows from multiple 1 GbE, 10 GbE, or 40
GbE network ports to a single 10 GbE, 40 GbE, or 100
GbE tool port
• Distribute flows from one 10 GbE, 40 GbE, or 100 GbE
network port across multiple 1 GbE, 10 GbE, or 40 GbE
tool ports
• Selectively forward flows from 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100
GbE network ports to lower-speed tool ports
• Mirror flows across tool ports
• Dual, concurrent IPv4 and IPv6 stack support
• Burst protection with buering on network ports
