ipoque's Industry-Leading Deep Packet Inspection Engine Goes Open Source
World’s First Professional Open Source DPI Engine Launched Today at Broadband World
Forum in Paris
ipoque Logo(firmenpresse) - Leipzig, September 7, 2009 – ipoque, the leading European vendor of Internet traffic
management solutions, today published its award-winning DPI engine as open source
software. OpenDPI is derived from the commercial PACE product, ipoque's traffic
classification engine that is used in its carrier-grade DPI and bandwidth management
solutions. The core of OpenDPI is a software library designed to classify Internet traffic
according to application protocols. Everybody can use the software and contribute to it
under the conditions of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
„The idea behind OpenDPI is to stipulate knowledge exchange between all interested
parties. We value any feedback from the open source community and everyone else. In
the end we hope that we can return something to the community,“ says Hendrik Schulze,
CTO of ipoque and responsible for the OpenDPI project.
Klaus Mochalski, CEO of ipoque, adds: „The continuing development of OpenDPI is a
public process. Transparency was important for us from the beginning. The lack of
transparency from the vendors' side has become a widespread problem in the DPI
industry. Our thoughts are a bit different and that is why we decided to push this project.”
OpenDPI is one of several similar projects ipoque has initiated this summer. Recently the
company has published a white paper about DPI that clarifies the technological
background from the perspective of a vendor of networking products based on this
technology. All major points of the DPI discussion are covered in the paper: the definition
of DPI, DPI applications, myths and wrong analogies, net neutrality and the potential
impact of DPI applications on society.
Why OpenDPI?
DPI has been subject to controversial debates about network neutrality and online privacy
during the last few years – with a negative impact on the reputation of DPI-based systems.
A general problem is the lack of transparency from the vendors' side, which makes Internet
users afraid of this technology. Many myths and untruths about what DPI can do, including
reading and analyzing the content of user communication, are in circulation. By giving the
general public access to parts of our DPI engine, we want to demonstrate that many of the
alleged privacy violations simply do not happen in DPI bandwidth management systems.
We believe that this openness will be to the benefit of the DPI industry.
