The Silicom Denmark fbC4XG is a 4x10GE capture card that can capture and filter on four interfaces while providing the full suite of features offered via fbCAPTURE API.
It is a high performance OEM hardware platform with four SFP+ ports, allowing for optimal flexibility in connectivity. The card allows utilization of the transmission capabilities of these in conjunction with fbCAPTURE features.
The bandwidth of PCIe Gen2 (8-lane) can provide a card-to-host memory throughput capable of supporting at least 25 Gbit/s of sustained traffic capture load.
The card itself support capture and processing at full line rate on all interfaces (40Gbps). It is capable of handling traffic bursts, exceeding the PCIe bandwidth, through its on-board memory buffer.
In solutions where only a subset of the traffic is to be captured to host memory, or for monitoring networks operating at less than high loads, this is a cost effective alternative to more powerful boards.
It is ideal for interfacing to network links in a redundant configuration as it fully supports one active link set at full line rate (20 Gbps).
The fbC4XG 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.
