ITU-T members have approved a new ITU standard on Deep Packet Inspection 
(DPI) which will enable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to manage 
network traffic more efficiently and thereby heighten users’ quality of 
service and quality of experience (QoS and QoE). These buy-side 
advantages are mirrored by advantages on the supply-side, in that ISPs 
are granted another tool to curb their capex and opex costs as the 
demand for network infrastructure expansion continues to grow.
