Description

LiveWire is an advanced platform for network packet capture and forensic analysis that meticulously gathers and archives detailed packet information across physical, virtual, on-premises, and cloud environments. It aims to provide Network Operations and Security teams with comprehensive insights into network traffic, spanning from data centers to SD-WAN edges, remote locations, and cloud infrastructures, effectively addressing the gaps left by monitoring that relies solely on telemetry. Featuring real-time packet capture capabilities, LiveWire allows for selective storage and analysis through sophisticated workflows, visualizations, and correlation tools; it intelligently identifies encrypted traffic and only retains essential data such as headers or metadata, optimizing disk space while maintaining forensic integrity. The platform further supports "intelligent packet capture," transforming packet-level information into enriched flow-based metadata, known as LiveFlow, which can seamlessly integrate with the associated monitoring tool, BlueCat LiveNX. Overall, LiveWire enhances the ability to analyze network traffic efficiently while ensuring critical data is preserved for future investigations.

Description

You need to test traffic, whether you are testing circuit capacity, storm control, QOS, L2/L3 Forwarding, SD-WAN Application Policies, multicast snooping, or any of the many other things network engineers do in their day. The networking industry uses the Ixia/Spirent hardware as its gold standard. You may have even used them at work. Ostinato is used by thousands of network engineers to troubleshoot and verify their networks. Create packets by hand - specify protocols, protocol fields and other parameters to meet your needs. Configure and control several traffic-generating agents using a single controller. Python API with full scripting and automation features - everything you can do in the GUI you can also do through the API.
