Network Traffic

Network Traffic

Network traffic is measured in the number of packets per second. To determine the number of cores that you need to dedicate to the Dynamic Data Masking Server, you must measure the volume of the network traffic between the client and the database.
The Dynamic Data Masking Server can handle 10,000 packets per second per core, or one packet in 100 microseconds. Therefore, if your network traffic is 40,000 packets per second, the Dynamic Data Masking Server requires four cores. You can use a network analyzing tool such as Wireshark to measure your network traffic.
If you install the Dynamic Data Masking Server on the database server, you must verify that the required cores are available to the Dynamic Data Masking Server, in addition to the cores required by the database. If the database server does not have the necessary cores, you can install the Dynamic Data Masking Server on a dedicated machine. However, if the Dynamic Data Masking Server is installed on a separate machine, network performance decreases. Informatica recommends that you install the Dynamic Data Masking Server on the database server if possible.
