The Silicom Denmark fbC2XLG Card with fbCAPTURE API is a cutting edge packet capture and processing PCIe device. It performs at full line rate with zero packet loss with a wide variety of functions. It allows for pure data capture, processing, inline applications and special purpose function. Based on powerful FPGA Hardware technology, fbC2XLG is a high performance OEM hardware platform intended for 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfacing via its dual QSFP+ slots. With its PCIe Gen3 support, it features unrivaled performance in transfers to and from host systems.
The fbC2XLG is part of the fbCAPTURE family which provides a powerful and flexible Software API, as well as standard libpcap integration. Through the integration of fbCAPTURE API, applications gain support for all fbCAPTURE cards, covering Ethernet speeds from 1GE to 100GE.
