Link™ Capture Software for Napatech FPGA SmartNICs
Huntington Beach 4.1
Huntington Beach 4.1
The Huntington Beach 4.1 release for Napatech FPGA SmartNICs introduces a correlation key feature, which is a hash-based calculation done on each of the packets captured to provide the application with a 64 bit identifier – like a fingerprint – of each packet. This can be used to create powerful and cost-effective measurements of packet QoS characteristics in a network infrastructure in real time by tapping multiple points in the network and calculate packet timing/latency or routing problems – completely passively. Also, the ability to match the identities of packets also allows to implement a very efficient deduplication algorithm in the application by utilizing the pre-calculated correlation key. Works at all link speeds up to 100G.
Also, the Huntington Beach 4.1 release includes an 8x10G firmware option for the NT80E3-2-PTP that enables 10G systems with twice the 10G connectivity per server slot, thereby increasing the port density and potentially save valuable rack space. This option is also ideal for migration from 10G to 40G network connectivity by reusing the same hardware for both 10G and 40G connectivity – saving costs. Note: Only NT80E3-2-PTP hardware shipped after the Huntington Beach 4.1. release date will be able to accommodate this firmware option.
