Qosmos, a leading provider in embedded Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and network intelligence technology has introduced a new dedicated software function with open SDN & NFV interfaces - Qosmos Classifier - designed to enable any type of service combination while optimizing networking and infrastructure costs.
According to Qosmos, the new portfolio that can be installed on Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers and can leverage on open source software frameworks such as OpenStack, is market’s first standards-based, dedicated service classifier that is capable of identifing and extracting traffic information in real time. It identifies protocols, types of application, and extracts additional information in the form of metadata.
The Qosmos Classifier is especially well-suited to enable intelligent, dynamic service chaining for mobile Gi-LAN environments, said Qosmos. Qosmos added that unlike multi-function, legacy traffic steering solutions (e.g. PCEF, TDF, switches, etc.) which allow only limited service chain combinations, the Qosmos Classifier is a dedicated software function with open SDN & NFV interfaces, which makes it easy to programmatically create any type of service combination.

The Qosmos Classifier plays a critical role by enabling unlimited and cost-effective service creation. It also eases the transition to new SDN and NFV environments by being standards-compliant and supporting both legacy and new applications.
