The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Maritime Norfolk, Norfolk Naval Shipyard Contracting Division is conducting market research for potential sources for new a new gigastor network device which will allow NNSY to DVR all packets entering and leaving its network, to view any network-related problems at a later date as if they were happening in real time.  A brief description is as follows:  one (1) gigastor network packet capture device is required (P/N: GIGASTOR-EX-288T) to allow NNSY to view network traffic immediately without having to transfer that traffic to a centralized location before review.  The packet capture device should not drop any packets and should support the customization of rules and filters.  Encryption for all data at rest is required and end-to-end encryption when data is transit.  It is important that as our network evolves we will have the ability to archive logs from packet capture devices with 1G, 10G and 40G interfaces.   Software used is observer expert console V17.
