DAG 7.4S
The Endace DAG™ 7.4S network monitoring card provides the flexibility to capture and inspect traffic on SONET [SDH] OC-3c/12c/48c [STM-1c/4c/16c] Packet-Over-SONET and ATM networks with 8-lane PCI Express compatibility. Coupled with an efficient interrupt-free and zero-copy direct memory access [DMA] data path, the DAG 7.4S delivers the power to see all.
In addition to interrupt-free and zero-copy DMA, Endace developed Data Stream Manager [DSM] functionality to increase packet processing performance via hardware-based filtering and load-balancing techniques. DSM effectively accelerates application performance by offloading common features into hardware and ultimately freeing up more CPU resources for packet processing applications.
Highlights
- Dual-port network monitoring cards using SFP pluggable transceivers supporting:
- OC-3c/12c/48c [STM-1c/4c/16c] Packet-over-SONET and ATM [OC-3c/12c only].
- 100% capture into host memory for all frames from 64 to 9600 bytes (including Jumbo frames).
- Designed to integrate easily into host platforms with 8-lane PCI Express bus compatibility.
- Full packet, header only or set length packet capture.
- Two-way CPU load-balancing for increased processing performance.
- Precise nanosecond packet time-stamping with clock synchronisation from external time references including GPS and CDMA.
- Support for industry standard packet capture format [libPCAP/WinPCAP].
- Optional host-based software supports advanced AAL2/AAL5 ATM Reassembly at line-rate.
