Aviz Packet Broker 2.10 enhances network management capabilities

November 12, 2025

Aviz Packet Broker has released version 2.10, featuring enhanced platform compatibility, optimized traffic processing, and streamlined software upgrades. These updates are relevant for IT decision-makers focused on managing complex network environments effectively.

Expanded Platform Support and Advanced Traffic Management

Version 2.10 of Aviz Packet Broker introduces support for Celestica DS1000, DS3000, and EC5835 platforms, utilizing the SONiC base version 2023-11. This upgrade enhances capabilities in traffic visibility, filtering, and management across extensive network architectures.

Key Benefits

  • Comprehensive Traffic Aggregation: Gathers mirrored traffic from multiple TAPs and Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) ports for centralized monitoring.
  • Advanced L2/L3/L4 Filtering: Processes both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, ensuring only relevant packets reach analysis tools.
  • Optimized Traffic Distribution: Incorporates intelligent port redirection techniques using Static Link Aggregation Group (LAG) for improved scalability.
  • Enhanced Network Visibility: Delivers detailed analytics at port and flow levels for real-time insights.
  • Platform Versatility and Scalability: New support for various Celestica platforms facilitates deployment across diverse network topologies.

Packet Truncation Now Available on Broadcom TD3 Platforms

This release now enables Packet Truncation on Broadcom TD3 devices, a feature previously exclusive to NVIDIA platforms. This development helps to efficiently forward only essential packet data to monitoring systems.

Why It Matters

In environments with high traffic, full packets can rapidly consume storage. Packet Truncation allows trimming of packets at a set offset, sending only critical data, which reduces storage requirements and enhances analysis speed.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed-byte truncation: Exports 192 bytes of payload after truncation for both traffic types.
  • License: This feature necessitates the Business Continuity Management (BCM) Advanced (ADV-DC) License.
  • Platform Coverage: Now applicable to devices including Dell 5248, 5232, and multiple Celestica models.

Aviz aims for consistent user experiences across Broadcom and NVIDIA environments through this support.

Port-Channel Support Comes to Network Ports

The latest version integrates Port-Channel support as network ports within flow configurations, enhancing scalability and operational ease.

Key Benefits

  • Seamless Integration: Allows Port-Channels to function as network ports in flow definitions.
  • Flexible Configuration: Permits the combination of multiple Port-Channels and regular interfaces in a single network-ports list.
  • Simplified Traffic Management: Minimizes the necessity for numerous individual flow rules, facilitating scalability.

This enhancement promotes smarter traffic management, aiding operators in efficiently handling increasing data volumes.

VXLAN Encapsulation is Now Expanded to Multiple Platforms

Support for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) encapsulation has been broadened across various Broadcom-based TD3 platforms. Operators can configure up to 50 VXLAN tunnels, resulting in more adaptable overlay deployments within the Aviz Network Optimization Suite (NOS) ecosystem.

Conclusion

The 2.10 release of Aviz Packet Broker enhances the platform's capabilities for visibility and monitoring in data centers and service providers. Key features such as expanded platform support, increased VXLAN functionalities, and Packet Truncation on Broadcom devices underscore Aviz's position in network intelligence and performance.
