FlowProbe is a network monitoring appliance that passively captures and analyzes network traffic to generate enriched, unsampled flow records for security, network performance monitoring (NPMD), and compliance use cases. It is designed for large-scale environments such as service providers, data centers, and national networks, monitoring up to 480 million concurrent flows at 14 million flows per second, with a single 1U appliance processing up to 800Gbps of traffic. FlowProbe provides Layer 4-7 visibility, including protocol metadata for SSL/TLS, HTTP, DNS, SIP, ASN, URI, and JA4 fingerprinting. It performs application and content classification on encrypted TLS 1.0-1.3 traffic and stitches uplink and downlink flows into single records for analysis. The appliance includes de-tunnelling capabilities to detect and decode tunneled traffic types such as GRE, GTP, MPLS, IP-in-IP, PPTP, and Tunnelled Ethernet, enhancing visibility into traffic that would otherwise be opaque to monitoring tools. Flow records generated by FlowProbe can be exported to Telesoft TDAC, IPFIX collectors, or JSON consumers for integration into existing security, compliance, and network monitoring workflows.</description> <parameter name="summary">Appliance for real-time, unsampled network flow monitoring and L4-L7 threat visibility at scale
