200G Performance Solution
2xNT100E3-1-PTP SmartNICs
2 × 100 Gbps PACKET CAPTURE AND ANALYSIS
Use cutting-edge network SmartNIC technology to add realtime line rate performance to your application. Napatech 2-port 100 Gbps performance solutions provide full packet capture and analysis of network data at 200 Gbps with zero packet loss. The Napatech performance solution will capture all frames, including erroneous frames normally discarded by standard NICs. The Napatech NT200C01-2x100 200G Performance Solution can also be used for in-line application acceleration.
The Napatech performance solution allows you to merge data from ports into a single, time-ordered analysis stream. It supports 1-128 packet streams using intelligent hardware flow distribution to allow your application to scale to higher packet rates with no packet loss. The Napatech performance solution will distribute packets based on flow or on L3/L4 filter criteria.
The 2 × 8 GB DDR3 RAM buffer allows buffering packets on the performance solution to prevent packet loss during peak server loads. Packets are hardware timestamped when they arrive at the network ports, ensuring that the time stamp is always reliable.
