Communications Inc. recently announced their cutting-edge duplex wirespeed packet capture solution. This advanced hardware platform offers lossless packet capture and analysis for 400G Ethernet networks, making it ideal for deployment in data centers and high-speed network infrastructure.
As data volumes continue to rise due to AI workloads and bandwidth-intensive applications, network engineers require reliable tools to maintain visibility and control over high-speed traffic. GL’s PacketScan HD meets this demand by capturing Ethernet traffic in real-time at duplex speeds of up to 800 Gbps (400G East + 400G West) using a fiber tap, with direct recording to high-capacity NVMe SSDs supporting up to 6 TB per minute.
PacketScan HD now supports lossless 400 Gbps capture and analysis. The FastRecorder and PacketExtractor applications now feature a Linux-based web interface for multi-user access across the network. This system enables continuous and reliable packet capture over extended periods, storing data directly on high-capacity NVMe SSDs of up to 240 TB.
FastRecorder captures Ethernet traffic in real-time at speeds of up to 800 Gbps (duplex) using a non-intrusive fiber tap, storing data directly on NVMe drives for long-duration recording. It provides essential capture metrics such as data rates, dropped packets, and port-level statistics, enhancing high-speed packet capture in complex environments.
PacketExtractor allows offline analysis of recorded traffic, enabling users to filter, slice, and extract specific streams or segments. It supports PCAP/PCAPNG formats and provides metrics like frame count, extraction rate, and processing time. Outputs from both FastRecorder and PacketExtractor can be further analyzed using GL’s PacketScan software on the same platform.
