The [Netify Agent](https://www.netify.ai/) is a deep-packet inspection server. The Agent is built on top of [nDPI](http://www.ntop.org/products/deep-packet-inspection/ndpi/) (formerly OpenDPI) to detect network protocols and applications. Detections can be saved locally, served over a UNIX or TCP socket, and/or "pushed" (via HTTP POSTs) to a remote third-party server. Flow metadata, network statistics, and detection classifications are stored using JSON encoding.
Optionally, the Netify Agent can be coupled with a [Netify Cloud](https://www.netify.ai/) subscription for further cloud processing, historical storage, machine-learning analysis, event notifications, device detection/identification, along with the option (on supported platforms) to take an active role in policing/bandwidth-shaping specific network protocols and applications.
