Sensor
Sensor is a gateway appliance (physical in most cases) that receives a SPAN/Mirror copy of all the traffic moving in and out of the firewall. Most Static Analysis and DPI happen at the sensor. The Sensor is also responsible for describing the traffic model(s) and sending over the metadata to the master for further analysis.
