DAG 4.5G2 / G4 2/4 port Network Monitoring Card
The Endace® DAG® 4.5G2 and 4.5G4 Network Monitoring Cards with DSM provide 2 or 4 Gbps sustained lossless traffic capture and inspection on 10/100/1000BASE-T and optical Gigabit Ethernet networks. With the power to see all traffic even on high speed links operating at full line utilization, the DAG 4.5G2 and 4.5G4 enable operators to develop solutions that inspect all traffic for internal and external security threats, and precisely measure network performance to identify issues that may affect missioncritical applications like financial transaction orders, Voice over IP, and other timesensitive services.

DAG 4.5G2 / G4 Highlights
- 2/4 ports for 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX Optical Ethernet or 10/100/1000BASE-T Electrical Ethernet using SFP pluggable transceivers.
- DAG technology provides 100% capture into host memory at full line rate for all IP packets from 64 to 9600 bytes (including Jumbo frames).
- Full packet, header only or set length (truncated) packet capture.
- Full line-rate traffic capture and filtering based on
- Ethertype
- Src/Dst Ethernet MAC Addresses
- 5-Tuple IPv4 packet information (Src/Dst IP addresses, Src/Dst ports, protocol type and protocol flags).
- Non-blocking simultaneous capture and transmit up to 7Gbps total throughput*.
- Link and filter statistics counters for reporting and analysis.
- Two-way CPU load balancing for increased processing performance.
- Precise packet time-stamping and clock synchronization by GPS for applications that require highly accurate measurements over long distances.
- Support for industry standard PCAP capture format (libPCAP / WinPCAP)
- Invisible to all other network elements with no MAC or IP Address assigned to the DAG interface ports.
- Designed to integrate easily into existing server hardware with PCI-X133 bus technology.
- Relative timed data replay option enables precise reproduction of traffic conditions (TR-TERF).
