100% Packet Capture
At the core of all ANIC adapters is the FPGA based Advanced Packet Processor (APP) which features a high performance pipe-lined packet processing engine, a high performance DDR3 memory and PCIe DMA interface.
Packet Filtering
At the core of all ANIC adapters is the FPGA based Advanced Packet Processor (APP) which features a high performance pipe-lined packet processing engine, a high performance DDR3 memory and PCIe DMA interface.
Flow Classification
The APP hash-based classifier generates a 24 bit hash key using the Layer 3/4 five-tuple (IP source address, UDP/TCP source port, IP destination address, UDP/TCP destination port, protocol id).
Packet Merging
In applications where a single receive port is connected to an aggregation Tap, Mirror or SPAN port of a Switch, packets are time stamped in order of arrival, processed by the APP and forwarded to the Host CPU.
Flow Shunting
Flow shunting allows an application to programmatically turn packet transmission on or off—for a given flow, thereby reducing the amount of data it has to analyze, freeing up CPU resources for more pressing tasks.
Deduplication
Most network monitoring appliances receive a significant number of duplicate packets; sometimes as high as 50% of all traffic. ANIC adapters can discard all duplicate packets in hardware before they ever reach the host application, saving wasted processing cycles.
