Cirries DART AI Virtual Packet Broker (VPB) provides intelligent traffic visibility for cloud networks. It taps into discrete packet flows, aggregates, grooms, and delivers them in the required format to monitoring and security tools - at scale. Deployed agentlessly in AWS as a pod or module, DART VPB captures North-South and East-West traffic at up to 10 Gbps, enabling rapid deployment and seamless end-to-end visibility across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
Overview
Modern networks face unique challenges - growing cyber threats, exploding traffic volumes, and the complexity of cloud-first architectures. As applications migrate to public and private clouds, 40G and 100G data center links drive huge East-West inter-VM traffic, making cost-effective network visibility harder than ever.
To address this, Cirries developed the DART AI Virtual Packet Broker (VPB) - a software-only solution designed for agility, scale, and efficiency. VPB enables operators to tap, aggregate, groom, and distribute packet flows in the exact format required by their security and observability tools, without costly hardware dependencies.
In AWS, DART VPB passively collects packet data at speeds up to 10 Gbps, scaling with application demand. Because it's agentless, deployment is simple - no installs required on end-user devices.
Advanced capabilities include:
Packet trimming: Reduce frame length by up to 75% to minimize congestion.
Packet slicing: Removes sensitive payload data to support compliance-focused deployments (e.g., HIPAA or PCI DSS).
Protocol stripping: Normalize GRE/MPLS traffic to maximize tool efficiency.
The result: Accurate data, delivered at scale - improving security, analytics, and performance visibility across hybrid cloud environments.
Highlights
- Lightweight & Flexible: In-workload virtual tap for copying traffic in AWS, independent of applications. Provides visibility across container nodes, VMs, cloud subnets, and physical infrastructure - seamlessly feeding existing monitoring and security tools.
- Application-Aware Intelligence: L4- L7 DPI filters identify and enforce premium services, align resources fairly, and maintain performance - enhanced with GRE/MPLS protocol stripping.
- Optimized for Compliance & Scale: Packet slicing and trimming reduce payloads and frame lengths by 75-95%, ensuring HIPAA/PCI compliance, lowering storage costs, and preventing tool overload in high-volume virtual networks.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Usage instructions
Automated Test procedure from AWS CLI:
EC2 environment: Download setup script from:
https://download.cirries.com/cirries_div_aws_mp/ec2_setup.shÂ
give executable permission: chmod +x ec2_setup.sh
chage key file for ssh. If not present create new one.
run script from AWS CLI: ./ec2_setup.sh <collector_IP>
Description:
This script automatically creates a temporary EC2 instance using the latest Ubuntu 22.04 AMI, installs Docker, and runs the Cirries Diverter container from ECR.
EKS environment:Download setup script from: https://download.cirries.com/cirries_div_aws_mp/eks_setup.shÂ
Download daemonset yaml file from: https://download.cirries.com/cirries_div_aws_mp/AWSEKS1Gbps.yamlÂ
give executable permission: chmod +x eks_setup.sh
run script from AWS CLI: ./eks_setup.sh <collector_IP>
Once set up is done apply yaml using kubectl: (note: change collector_ip in yaml)
kubectl apply -f AWSEKS1Gbps.yaml
Description:
This script creates a temporary EKS cluster with two nodes.
Collector set up (on remote node):
REMOTE_IP=<Host public or private IP where container is running>
SRC_IFACE=ens5/eth0
VXLAN_ID=100
VXLAN_PORT=4789

$sudo ip link add $VXLAN_IFACE type vxlan id $VXLAN_ID dev $SRC_IFACE remote $REMOTE_IP dstport $VXLAN_PORT
ip link set vxlan100 up
Post deployment verification:
tcpdump -i vxlan100 -nn
