Ixia is interested in extending the reach of their solutions to cover new type of network that is software-defined. A software-defined network (SDN) allows for easier configuration and maintenance, as every device in the network is controlled centrally. Our application will serve as a tap for SDNs, allowing the user to process, duplicate, and redirect their network traffic more easily.
