Napatech Application Programming Interface (NTAPI)
To take full advantage of all of the features available in Napatech Network Adapters, it is recommended to use NTAPI. NTAPI provides a simple interface, designed to make programming and integration quick and easy. It is packet-based and also supports a segment-based mode.
LibPCAP API (PCAP API)
You can reuse existing application software based on LibPCAP. This provides an excellent starting point for development of network monitoring and analysis appliances, with a standard interface supported by open-source applications, such as Snort, Suricata, YAF, Ostinato, Tcpdump, Tcpreplay, Ethereal and Wireshark. The PCAP API uses the NTAPI for access to Napatech Network Adapters. The PCAP API is based on Napatech's extended LibPCAP library implementation.
