NextGen Network Packet Broker:
Vision E400S
Scale your visibility to 400G speed
Keysight’s Vision E400S is the next-generation network visibility solution with comprehensive feature sets
to meet the ever-evolving visibility needs of your production network, for up to 400Gbps network speed.
Highly compact and 1RU in size, Vision E400S front panel provides 24 QSFP56 and 16 QSFP-DD ports.
Each QSFP-DD can break out to many smaller speed ports (200G, 100G, 40G, 50/25/10G) via fan-out
cable. It’s the only NPB that supports all possible permutation of speeds, increasing the chance of
interoperating with legacy devices while maximizing design flexibility.
The re-programmable nature of the silicon allows fast implementation of a new parser or header stripping
option of any new protocols, well-known or proprietary. New load balance options support load balancing
per port group. In addition to traditional session-aware load balance, new options also allow asymmetric
LB, weighted LB, random LB, and LB using tunneled IP header.
