Packet Design is an Austin, Texas-based network performance management software company credited with pioneering route analytics technology. This network monitoring technology analyzes routing protocols and structures in meshed IP networks by participating as a peer in the network to passively “listen” to Layer 3 routing protocol exchanges between routers for the purpose of network discovery, mapping, real-time monitoring and routing diagnostics.[1]

The company maintains offices in San Jose, CA, Austin, TX, Dubai, UAE, and Pune, India. In June 2018, Ciena announced it would acquire Packet Design LLC and the transaction closed July 2, 2018.[2]
