▀ Introduction

All other pages on this site are free. Since all parts of this Web site corresponds to a destination address of 1.1.1.1 and

port number 80 (http), so determination of chargeable user traffic is possible through the actual URL (Layer 7) only.

DPI performs packet inspection beyond Layer 4 inspection and is typically deployed for:

Detection of URI information at level 7 (for example, HTTP, WTP, RTSP URLs)

Identification of true destination in the case of terminating proxies, where shallow packet inspection would only

reveal the destination IP address/port number of a terminating proxy such as the OpCo's WAP gateway

De-encapsulation of nested traffic encapsulation, for example MMS-over-WTP/WSP-over-UDP/IP

Verification that traffic actually conforms to the protocol the layer 4 port number suggests
