DAG 8.1SX single-port Network Monitoring Card

The Endace® DAG® 8.1SX Network Monitoring Card has been optimised for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Packet-over-SONET OC-192c / SDH STM-64c networks. It provides line rate network traffic capture and sustained 10Gbps data transfer to the host server. An efficient interrupt-free and zero-copy DMA data path from the card to analysis software enables solutions to scale for next generation 10Gigabit networks. With precise packet time-stamping to nanosecond resolution complete visibility is provided into network behaviour.
