Over the years, open-source deep packet inspection (DPI) has played a pivotal role in advancing the adoption of DPI in general. With zero licensing fees and accessible code, open-source DPI has empowered many organizations to leverage its benefits, including real-time application awareness essential for network connectivity and security.
In this report, we explore how increasing application complexities, encryption, and emerging cyber threats affect the efficacy of open-source DPI. Drawing insights from a survey of 48 leading vendors in networking, cybersecurity, and analytics, we assess the techniques used in open-source DPI, including AI-based methodologies, and evaluate the adequacy of signature libraries in addressing new application and threat patterns. Additionally, the report examines how evolving business requirements influence vendor decisions to migrate to commercial DPI and the role of custom migration tools in accelerating this transition.
