Cyber Security - Data Analytics Market

FastStack™ Sniffer10G™ Overview


What Matters in Cyber Security / Data Analytics

Leveraging processing power of host / server

• Multi-core aware

Lossless packet injection• Network infrastructure monitoring and probing

Lossless packet capture• Support all Ethernet packet sizes• Line rate performance, including for 10Gb Ethernet


Sniffer10G™ Features and Benefits

Kernel bypass architecture– Enables line rate, lossless packet capture without introducing latency

High throughput– Lossless packet capture for all sizes– Supports packet capture and injection at 14.88Mpps

Multi-core awareness via partitioning, duplication and process sharing.

– Enables Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)– Flexibility of data analysis


Scalable Performance and Low Cost

Performance through firmware extension– 10Gb Ethernet driver switches to “Sniffer Mode” for capture

No specialized capture hardware ($)– In “Sniffer Mode”, packet-rate sensitive firmware runs on MIPS-like

processor on the adapter
