Yup… and sometimes “perceived value” is just as important … perhaps they found a way to roll out DPI and fully support it … a DPI that works and is updated/supported … that would truly be awesome.
But sometimes to get people to “buy in” to stuff there has to be some kind of value … and the value of “oh we include that for free” works negatively in a lot of situations – especially for those folks that have been working with various DPI gear for a long time. It’s hard to take it seriously is what I’m saying… From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 8:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Ubiquiti DPI? My view is with DPI, like virus scanning or spam filtering, you are buying the updates as much as the platform. If the signatures and rules aren’t kept up to date, it loses value. Any vendor that uses this feature to sell hardware and doesn’t charge a yearly fee may not understand the task.

Ok, so now that deep packet inspection has been announced I'd assume any NDAs have been lifted. Have any of you been using this? Any idea what type of latency is added? That pricing model is a whole lot different from any DPI tool that I have ever seen....
