I think it's cool. I'm probably going to buy an ER now just to check it
out. But reading the caveats and the capabilities of it - it is
certainly not a replacement for something like a Procera. But, for
someone that is just looking for a way to identify some application
traffic, especially as a free update, it's pretty impressive.

I had/have that concern as well. But it is mind boggling to me that so
many people are complaining about ubiquiti putting in this value added
feature (quite well I may add). I have never seen so many complaints
about features being added. Shouldn't we instead complain about the
needed features their products are missing?
Complaining about ubiquiti adding in DPI, even if it sucked, is like
complaining that you get a dozen free games when you buy an XBox One.
You may not like the games you get, but they are free and you don't
have to play them if you don't want.
Thank you,

I think the thought is that DPI is a very intensive process and if
the router wasn't designed with enormous overhead or hardware
acceleration, it could be crippling. Maybe those routers were...

I don't know why anyone would have a problem with them putting this
on existing routers. If you don't like their routers, don't buy them.
If you do like their routers but think a feature shouldn't be there,
don't enable it.
I think it's great that ubiquiti innovates the way they do. They have
some great products that blow other products out of the water in one
way or another. And it's forced other companies to lower their
seriously over priced equipment and to rethink their strategies.
Ubiquiti really is disrupting things in the industry in only good ways.

Well it will be interesting … sure would be nice to see someone
“disrupt” I agree … but there have been lots of folks try to
provide “DPI” and fail badly as they didn’t really understand
what they were getting into… and doing it on existing routers is
usually the first mistake in my opinion…..

They've got the resources to do it, would be nice to see someone
undercut the existing players.

I have no idea but if it’s like other attempts I’ve seen from
companies to stack heavy CPU “stuff” into a router, then
stability and any type of scaling would be first concerns.
DPI is a very complex item to see someone like Ubiquiti jump
into in my opinion…

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....
