01LAYERTM OPERATING PLATFORM

01Layer Operating Platform

One operating environment across FlowDirector, Service Node, and FlowMagic for consistent management, service design, and visibility operations.

Observe Accurately.Analyze Intelligently.Act Decisively.

Unified by 01LayerTM

01LayerTM is the intelligent unified operating platform that seamlessly integrates appliance control, advanced service design, high-performance traffic processing, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive audit-ready workflows — delivering one consistent, powerful experience across your entire ecosystem of FlowDirector, Service Node, and FlowMagic deployments.

DragConnectDeploy

Build Service and Analysis Flows from Modular Functions with Clarity, Speed, and Control.

Build services from any input to any output

01LayerTM makes packet services easier to create by turning sources, processing functions, and destinations into connected building blocks. The same model supports troubleshooting, validation, monitoring, replay, and analysis workflows.

Inputs

Start from live, virtual, or recorded traffic

Bring traffic into the service canvas from physical ports, port groups, bonded links, OS devices, virtual interfaces, PCAP files, and TAP sources. Each source enters the same flow model, so live traffic and recorded traffic can be designed, validated, and reused consistently.

01Layer input source options
Processing path

Connect function nodes into a service flow

Drag NextIO components onto the canvas, connect each node to form full packet processing data path. 01Layer's Flow-Based Service Design Environment turns complex into an intuitive visual experience, delivering instant validation, zero errors, and production-ready services in minutes with total confidence.

01LayerTM helps teams reuse the same flow-based method for packet brokering, capture, replay, filtering, analysis, and validation instead of rebuilding each workflow from scratch.

Outputs

Send results to tools, files, and operating paths

Route results to egress ports, tool groups, OS interfaces, virtual devices, PCAP files, or serial TAP workflows from the same service definition.
