The Clean Pipes 2.0 solution integrates the Arbor Peakflow® platform for network security and visibility with Cisco NetFlow technology running on Cisco network routing and switching platforms .

Power of Peakflow—Best-of-Breed Features
The Arbor Peakflow platform incorporates many industry-leading capabilities into Clean Pipes 2.0 These include:

• Unparalleled Scalability—A single mitigation node can scale from 5 gigabits to an industry-best 40 gigabits. In aggregate, one Peakflow SP deployment can support up to 2 Terabits of mitigation capacity. No other solution reaches anywhere near that scale.
• Integrated DDoS Detection and Mitigation—Service providers and enterprises can deal with large, complex attacks in an automated, correlated way, rather than having to treat a single attack as multiple discrete events and triage them offline.
• Network-Wide Visibility and Reporting with GeoIP Intelligence—GeoIP intelligence enhances network visibility by presenting information in a geographical context, rather than just a network-specific context. This improves insight into regionally-based events and lets providers allocate network resources more efficiently in response.
• Application Performance Management Capabilities — Arbor Peakflow adds the intelligence and granularity to understand not just whether an application is available or unavailable, but how well it is performing. This functionality is useful in a security context, as well as for ongoing support and SLA monitoring.
• Turnkey Managed Service Platform—Beyond using the Peakflow technology in Clean Pipes 2.0 to protect network assets, providers can add the Arbor Peakflow SP Portal Interface to create new revenue-generating managed services for DDoS protection and mitigation.

Arbor Peakflow SP—Network-Wide Detection, Classification and Traceback
Arbor Peakflow SP serves as "command central" for Clean Pipes 2.0. Peakflow SP provides network-wide threat detection, classification and traceback as well as traffic monitoring for both IPv4- and IPv6-based networks. Leveraging NetFlow-based statistical anomaly-detection technology, Peakflow SP sets the industry standard for network visibility, security, GeoIP reporting, troubleshooting and traffic engineering.

Arbor Peakflow TMS—Intelligent DDoS Mitigation System
The Arbor Peakflow SP Threat Management System (TMS) is the most advanced intelligent DDoS mitigation system in the world, providing sophisticated attack mitigation capabilities from layer-3 to layer-7, including complex application-layer, domain name system (DNS) protection, and antispoofing countermeasures. Peakflow SP TMS isolates and surgically removes malicious traffic, while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. For example, multiple Peakflow SP TMS devices may be clustered to provide up to 640 Gbps of dedicated attack mitigation capacity in a single Cisco Nexus 7000-based cleaning center; multiple clusters of Peakflow SP TMS devices may be combined into a single virtual mitigation cluster with up to 2 Tbps of capacity via IPv4 anycast addressing.
