I understand what you’re saying … yes, people (like myself) complaining about something free … totally understand that part. But many times when a vendor brings in something major and new, it often causes problems with code on routers/switches that has worked perfectly fine for a long time. To bring DPI into any router involves a significant amount of codebase change very low on the IP stack .. a lot can go wrong… From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Brett A Mansfield Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 9:06 AM To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Ubiquiti DPI? 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.

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.

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....
