Special Reference Design 100G Ethernet Packet Capture Device

Design Gateway's proprietary FPGA architecture enables stable, continuous recording at 100GbE line rate — a feat not achievable with CPU-based systems. Ideal for packet capture and analysis in high-load environments where no data loss is tolerated. The system is also scalable beyond 200GbE line rate by adding DDR memory and configuring SSDs in RAID.

⚡

Lossless Continuous Recording at 100GbE

Even at the extremely high network bandwidth of 100Gbps, data is captured without any loss and sustained (continuous) writing to storage is maintained.

🔍

Instant Analysis in PCAPNG Format

Data is converted directly into PCAPNG files within the FPGA logic, enabling immediate analysis with Wireshark or other tools right out of the box.

🔧

Flexible Packet Filtering

Filter conditions can be configured via dedicated software without any hardware logic changes. By capturing only specific packets, storage consumption is minimized while maintaining efficient data collection.
