Introduction
FastStack™ Sniffer10G™ software uses Myri-10G programmable Network Adapters, a firmware extension, and a user-level library to enable sustained capture with merging of 10-Gigabit Ethernet traffic. It also provides high-rate packet injection functionality. Small-packet coalescing and an efficient zero-copy path to host memory allow FastStack™ Sniffer10G™ to capture streams at line rate for all Ethernet packet sizes. Optionally, FastStack™ Sniffer10G™ can enable multiple independent processes or threads to concurrently analyze the incoming traffic from one or more network adapter ports.
