Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a form of filtering that examines (inspects) both the payload and the header of a packet as it passes an inspection point. Ethernet Internet Protocol (IP) Transport Layer (TCP/UDP) Email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) Web (HTTP/S) File Transfer (FTP, Gopher) Instant Messaging (IM) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Applications Directory Services L2L3L4L5 – L7 Packet Payload / Application LayersPacket Header Layers Deep Packet Inspection
