H5-APP Key Capabilities

70+ performance metrics per flow

Volume, network performance, application performance, MOS (VoIP call quality), and jitter - calculated for every active IP flow, not sampled or estimated.

Passive, wire-speed monitoring

Captures and analyzes traffic from a SPAN port or network tap without sitting inline - nothing to reconfigure on the network path, and no risk of the monitoring appliance becoming a bottleneck or a failure point.

Lossless capture up to 40 Gbit/s

Physical models scale from 1 to 40 Gbit/s with no packet loss at full line rate; a 1 Gbit/s virtual model is available for smaller or cloud-hosted environments.

VoIP and real-time application quality

MOS scoring and jitter measurement purpose-built for voice and other latency-sensitive applications, surfacing quality problems before users start calling the help desk.

Cyclic Capture for forensic investigation

On CC-range appliances, a dedicated rolling buffer (2 TB to 48 TB depending on model) retains full packet history, so an investigation can pull the actual pcap data, not just summary statistics.

Completely Passive - Nothing Sits in the Traffic Path

H5-APP never receives traffic directly - it watches a mirrored copy instead, which means production traffic is never at risk from the monitoring appliance itself.

Production Traffic Client and server traffic, as usual Network Switch Forwards traffic unchanged Mirrors a copy via SPAN or TAP Destination Full traffic, full speed - unaffected H5-APP (Passive) Analyzes the mirrored copy
H5-APP monitors a mirrored copy of traffic from a SPAN or TAP port - production traffic reaches its destination exactly as it would without H5-APP in the picture.

H5-APP at a Glance

70+

Performance metrics calculated per IP flow, including volume, network, and application performance

40 Gbit/s

Maximum lossless capture throughput on the largest physical model

48 TB

Maximum dedicated packet-capture buffer on CC-range appliances, for forensic pcap retrieval

MOS

Voice-quality scoring plus jitter, purpose-built for VoIP and real-time applications

H5-APP Deployment Options

H5-APP Physical (1-40G)

H5-APP Physical (1-40G)

The physical H5-APP line runs on the same H5-Appliance hardware used for flow monitoring, scaling from 1 Gbit/s up to a full 40 Gbit/s of lossless capture - meaning every packet is accounted for at line rate, not sampled, which matters for accurate MOS and jitter scoring on real-time traffic.

Because it runs on H5-Appliance hardware, the same unit can be sized and specified alongside an H5-Flow deployment rather than as an entirely separate hardware decision.

  • 1 to 40 Gbit/s lossless capture, depending on model
  • Passive SPAN/TAP deployment - no impact on production traffic
  • 70+ metrics per flow, calculated at full line rate

Best for: Datacenters and network cores where application and VoIP quality need to be measured accurately at high throughput, not sampled.

H5-APP Virtual (1G)

H5-APP Virtual (1G)

A 1 Gbit/s virtual model for smaller sites, lab environments, or cloud-hosted infrastructure - the same 70+ metrics and application visibility as the physical line, deployed as a VMware or Hyper-V virtual machine instead of dedicated hardware.

A practical way to pilot H5-APP before committing to physical appliance hardware, or to cover a smaller site where a dedicated appliance is not justified.

  • 1 Gbit/s capacity, VMware or Hyper-V deployment
  • Same 70+ metrics and reporting as the physical line
  • Deployable on-premises or in a private/public cloud

Best for: Smaller sites, evaluation deployments, or cloud-hosted environments where dedicated monitoring hardware is not practical.

Cyclic Capture (Forensic Packet History)

Cyclic Capture (Forensic Packet History)

On CC-range appliances (H5-200cc, H5-700cc), a dedicated storage pool - 2 TB up to 48 TB depending on model - is reserved entirely for a rolling buffer of full packet captures, separate from the statistics storage used for day-to-day reporting.

When an investigation needs more than a flow summary, the actual packets for that window are already captured and exportable in pcap format, instead of deploying a separate packet-capture tool after the fact and hoping the traffic is still reproducible.

  • 2 TB (H5-200cc) to 48 TB (H5-700cc) dedicated rolling-buffer storage
  • Full packet capture, exportable in pcap format
  • Separate from statistics storage - does not compete with day-to-day reporting capacity

Best for: Security and incident-response teams who need forensic-grade packet evidence on hand, not just after-the-fact reconstruction from flow statistics.

H5-APP vs. H5-Flow: Which One Do You Need?

H5-Flow reads flow-export records - NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX - that your routers, switches, and firewalls already generate. It is lightweight on the network and answers who is talking to whom, on which protocol, and how much bandwidth is involved, across a large number of exporting devices at once.

H5-APP inspects the actual packets from a mirrored SPAN or TAP port, not summary records from network equipment. That depth is what makes MOS and jitter scoring possible, and what the 70+ per-flow metrics and forensic packet capture depend on. Many customers run both: H5-Flow for broad, lightweight visibility across the network, and H5-APP at the points - a datacenter core, a VoIP gateway - where that extra depth is worth the dedicated tap.

Frequently Asked Questions

H5-Flow analyzes NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX records already exported by your network equipment. H5-APP inspects the actual packets from a mirrored SPAN or TAP port, giving deeper metrics - including VoIP MOS and jitter scoring - than flow records alone can provide. Many deployments run both together.

No - H5-APP is fully passive. It analyzes a mirrored copy of traffic from a SPAN or TAP port and never sits inline in the traffic path, so it cannot introduce latency or become a point of failure for production traffic.

Cyclic Capture is a dedicated rolling buffer, available on CC-range appliances (H5-200cc, H5-700cc), that continuously retains full packet captures - 2 TB to 48 TB depending on model - separate from day-to-day statistics storage. It matters if your team needs to pull actual packets for a past incident, not just summary metrics; if flow-level statistics are enough for your use case, a standard model is sufficient.
