"DPI technology allows service providers to improve performance of IP-based multimedia applications, and stops unwanted traffic from consuming network resources and causing congestion. DPI also mitigates network attacks to help reduce capex and opex, while enhancing subscriber satisfaction to reduce churn. Sandvine’s customer win validates the demand for DPI-based policy solutions in large service provider networks."

"DPI helps operators improve the performance of interactive applications, preventing certain application traffic from unduly hogging resources and contributing to congestion. It also mitigates the effects of network attacks, which helps reduce capex and opex while increasing subscriber satisfaction, leading to lower churn."

"The increase in bandwidth consumption due to media-rich applications, such as video streaming, along with peer-to-peer file sharing places a high premium on a service provider's ability to identify and manage traffic. As broadband is increasingly vital to the consumer's daily life, higher capacity and carrier-grade equipment is a requirement for success."

"Sandvine's systems intercept file requests and route them to matching files on the ISP's own network - instead of leaving them to be satisfied by a random, global search. This reduces off-network traffic and saves on IP transit charges."

"Solutions to the problems caused by P2P have to strike a careful balance between effective network management and maintaining a positive end user experience. Too many of the solutions which have been tried and failed have led to disgruntled subscribers. One of the strengths of the Sandvine solution is that it takes this need into account and allows service providers to manage the problem without damaging the subscriber experience."
