Congratulations on your purchase of LiveWire™! LiveWire appliances uniquely combine flow-based reporting using deep packet inspection (DPI) with high-speed, packet capture and storage. LiveWire is designed to work with LiveNX and various other platforms. Because LiveWire starts with packet data, it is able to provide a unique, and extended, set of flow-based monitoring data called LiveFlow. LiveFlow is extended IPFIX data and is exported to LiveNX and other platforms. See Sending LiveFlow Telemetry for the additional tasks you must perform in order to export LiveFlow data from LiveWire. Please also refer to the LiveNX and the other platform documentation for more information on using the LiveFlow data exported to LiveNX and other platforms.
