PCAP Express 10G adapters increase the performance of Ethernet-based security and network performance analysis applications by offloading repetitive, CPU-intensive tasks to hardware, saving hundreds or thousands of CPU cycles per packet and enabling additional intelligence to be built into software, without compromising CPU efficiency.

PCAP Express 10G adapters capture and classify packets in real-time, at 100% line rate, and without packet loss, under all network traffic conditions. Using multi-packet DMA and a zero copy architecture, they stream captured traffic directly to the host CPU’s application memory space, removing common software bottlenecks associated with packet inspection and flow analysis.

Key Features

• 2 traffic capture ports, Optical/XFP
• PCAPx API provides instant hardware acceleration and CPU offload for standard libpcap applications
• PCAPx extensions include high-resolution timestamps, line-rate filtering, hash calculation, protocol decoding, packet slicing and more
• multiple stream buffers for multi-CPU load-balancing
• PCI-X bus interface for easy integration with commodity servers (7.2Gbps transfer speed)
• PCI-e bus interface coming soon (20Gbps transfer speed)
• Support for Red Hat, Ubuntu, Catapulta Linux, and FreeBSD
