Aggregation and Packet Filtering Switch for Campus Network Border

SCOPE:Contract for the purchase of a packet filtering provided by the system which will to allow us to write rules to copy packets meeting our criteria to multiple 10Ginterfaces, allow for overlapping policies, provide a load balancing mechanism as well as allow us to drop certain packets that we do not want to process with our intrusion detection servers.

It is expected that the aggregation switch will need to fully process at least 40G of traffic after the bypass of a separate 50G of packets that are not of interest.   This traffic must be provided to multiple 10G interfaces without packet loss for sensing by our intrusion detection
