Capture — Direct Capture To Disk - ProfiTap ProfiShark 10G User Manual

Capture — Direct capture to disk
ProfiShark 10G provides the option to capture traffic without
the need for third-party capture software. This mode of capture
is performed on a driver level, prior to all network stacks and
frame processing. With the support of direct capture, small
packet capture can be performed at wire speed.
The capture file is saved in PCAP Next Generation format
(.pcapng).
The packet timestamps are hardware generated with 8
nanosecond accuracy. The direct capture feature is compatible
with the different hardware features: "Packet Slicing",
"Transmit CRC errors", "Keep CRC32", "Disable Port" (see
"Features" chapter).
