PL1200 is the Statistics server in the PacketLogic solution, also known as PLS, that aggregates traffic data. The PL1200 is a reliable file server with 2 or 5 hard disk drives in a RAID1 or RAID5. This enables fast writing of large data quantities and data resilience in case of a HDD failure.

The PL1200 is a 19" rack-mounted server and can either be connected directly to the PacketLogic rule system (PLR) sitting in the packet path, through a patch cable, or remotely to the PL1200's IP address. Only the relevant data, i.e. the DRDL data from PacketLogic, is sent to the PLS. This makes the PLS scalable to manage several PLRs. Typical installations manage 3 to 7 PL7600/PL7620 per PL1200, depending on type of traffic and user behavior. Multiple PL1200 can also serve one PLR, like in the case of PL10000.

DRDL™ (Datastream Recognition Definition Language) is at the core of what makes PacketLogic stand out from the competition. This state-of-the-art traffic identification and classification engine drives all PacketLogic platforms from the PL10000 to the PL5600.
