PCAP Express gigabit 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 gigabit 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 full line-rate data directly to the host CPU’s application memory space, removing common software bottlenecks associated with packet inspection and flow analysis.

Key Features

• 2 or 4 Gigabit traffic capture ports, Optical/SFP or 10/100/1000 RJ-45
• PCAP API provides instant hardware acceleration and CPU offload for standard libpcap applications
• PCAP extensions include high-resolution timestamps, hash calculation, protocol decoding, packet slicing and more
• PCI-X bus interface for easy integration with commodity servers
• Support for Red Hat, Ubuntu, Catapulta Linux, and FreeBSD
