The Silicom Denmark fb2CGg3 Dual capture card offers 2x100GE network connectivity and line rate capture to host memory with zero packet loss and hardware packet processing.
The fbC2CGg3 dual capture card is based on cutting edge Xilinx FPGA technology, providing packet filtering, advanced processing, traffic management, load balancing and host offloading mechanisms.
This high performance hardware platform connects to 100GE using QSFP28 modules and performs packet processing, while delivering a sustained throughput to host memory of up to 224 Gbps. The use of QSFP28 cages also allows use of QSFP to support 8x10GE, 2x40GE as wells as 8x25GE
The card uses a single-slot PCIe solution through a 16-lane PCIe slot. It also features a second PCIe connector for cable connection to a second PCIe slot. The second PCIe connector can also serve as a card-to-card interconnect path to a second card. Both use cases enable effective traffic management and load balancing in NUMA environments.
This Dual Capture card is also available as a cost optimized variant for 10GE and 40GE.
