DAG 5.2SXA single-port Network Monitoring Card
The Endace® DAG® 5.2SXA Network Monitoring Card has been optimized to monitor and inspect traffic on 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Packet-over-SONET OC-192c / SDH STM- 64c networks. It provides full line rate traffic capture, classification and filtering even in worst-case conditions, enabling network operators to inspect all traffic on their core network backbone and high-bandwidth peering points.

DAG 5.2SXA Highlights
- Single port Network Monitoring Interface Card for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and SONET OC-192c / SDH STM-64c (9953Mbps).
- 10Gb small form factor (XFP) pluggable optics.
- Full packet, header only or set length (truncated) packet capture.
- 10Gbps capture and processing capability for all IP packets from 64 to 9600 bytes (including Jumbo frames). Up to 7 Gbps of traffi c can be transferred to the system for further analysis in software.
- Integrated CoProcessor enables every packet to be compared
against up to 32,768 fi ltering rules.
- Classify packets based on network layer 3 and 4 header information, on both Ethernet and POS networks.
- Drop or capture packets based on classifi cation.
- On the fl y ’hitless’ rule changes with zero packet loss.
- Precise packet time-stamping with optional external clock synchronization.
- Invisible to all other network elements with no MAC or IP Address assigned to the DAG interface port.
- Link counters for reporting and analysis.
- Integrate easily into existing server hardware with PCI-X133 bus interface.
- Relative timed data replay option enables precise reproduction of traffi c conditions (TR-TERF).
