Packet Capture
ProfiShark 1G has the ability to capture:
- Any type of frames (VLAN, VXLAN, MPLS, Pause frames, etc.)
- Any encapsulated frames
- CRC errors frames
- Short frames (< 64 bytes)
- Jumbo frames (> 1518 bytes)
- Any frames between 10 bytes and 10 Kbytes
Once the drivers have been properly installed, a new
connection is added in the Network Connection panel.
ProfiShark 1G acts as two 1 Gbit/s unidirectional NICs,
regardless of the network connection speed. Frame
aggregation is done in the ProfiShark hardware and respects
the original frame order. As opposed to FIFO (First In, First
Out), the ProfiShark 1G employs an FCFS (First Come, First
Served) mechanism.
