Aviz Packet Broker 2.10 Enhances Network Management with New Features

November 20, 2025

Aviz has launched the Packet Broker 2.10, introducing improvements to platform compatibility, traffic processing efficiency, and software upgrade mechanisms. These enhancements are applicable to both enterprises and service providers, offering various benefits for network management.

Expanded Platform Support and Advanced Traffic Management

The latest release adds support for Celestica’s DS1000, DS3000, and EC5835 platforms, utilizing Broadcom chipsets. This enables comprehensive traffic aggregation, intelligent filtering, and efficient redirection across extensive networks.

Key Benefits

  • Comprehensive Traffic Aggregation: Integrates mirrored traffic from various TAPs and Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) ports.
  • Advanced L2/L3/L4 Filtering: Compatible with IPv4 and IPv6 to forward only necessary packets.
  • Optimized Traffic Distribution: Facilitates intelligent redirection using Static Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
  • Enhanced Network Visibility: Offers analytics for real-time traffic and performance data.
  • Platform Versatility and Scalability: Simplifies deployment across diverse topologies.

Packet Truncation Now Available on Broadcom TD3 Platforms

The release extends Packet Truncation support to Broadcom TD3 platforms, which previously was only on NVIDIA platforms. This feature targets efficiency by passing on essential packet details to monitoring tools.

Why It Matters

This function addresses storage concerns in high-traffic scenarios by sending only valuable packet portions, thus lowering costs and expediting analysis.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed-byte truncation: Maintains 192 bytes of payload post-truncation for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • License: Requires the Business Continuity Management (BCM) Advanced License.
  • Platform Coverage: Now available on multiple devices including Dell and Celestica models.

This enhancement promotes a consistent user experience across data environments utilizing both Broadcom and NVIDIA.

Port-Channel Support Comes to Network Ports

The introduction of Port-Channel support improves scalability and simplicity in traffic management by allowing Port-Channels to act as network ports.

Key Benefits

  • Seamless Integration: Enables easy use of Port-Channels in flow definitions.
  • Flexible Configuration: Allows combination of Port-Channels and individual interfaces.
  • Simplified Traffic Management: Streamlines flow rules, facilitating easier scalability.

This capability enhances efficiency for operators managing increasing data traffic.

VXLAN Encapsulation Expanded to Multiple Platforms

Support for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) encapsulation has expanded to additional Broadcom-based TD3 platforms. This update permits configuring up to 50 VXLAN tunnels, enhancing deployment flexibility.

Conclusion

The Aviz Packet Broker 2.10 release strengthens its role as a visible monitoring solution for modern infrastructure. The upgraded platform support, Packet Truncation features, and enhanced capabilities optimize network performance.
