Coprocessor IP 

filtering/packet 

classification 

The specifications for the coprocessor IP filtering/packet classification 

are:  

 

 

Packets are classified by TCP/IP header fields and/or payload 

content. 

 

Up to 16,384 TCP/IP header classification rules. 

 

Classification rules are assigned a user-defined 16-bit identifier 

 

Packets matching classification rules are assigned the matching 

rule's identifier. 

 

Programmable actions may be associated with each rule identifier. 

For example, The packet should either be dropped, or presented to 

the host. 

 

Packets presented to the host include the rule-match identifier in the 

record header. 

 

Coprocessor 

ATM AAL5 

Reassembly 

The DAG 3.8S card is equipped with a coprocessor which can be used as 

a data processing tool with the optional Endace DAG Coprocessor. 

 

The ATM AAL5 Reassembler specifications are: 

 

 

Supports up to 65,535 simultaneously active VCI/VPI's 

 

Supports simultaneous reassembly of up to 65,536 AAL5 frames 

 

Selected VPI/VCI discovery, state management, and ageing 

 

Supports up to full OC-12/STM-4 cell rate on both interfaces 

simultaneously [~2.8 Mcells/sec] 

 

Rich statistics, counters, and timeouts

Description 

The DAG 3.8S card and its associated data capture system has the 

following minimum system requirements: 

 

 

PC, at least Intel Xeon 1.8GHz or faster 

 

Intel E7500, ServerWorks Grand Champion LE/HE or newer chip set 

 

Minimum of 256 MB RAM 

 

At least one free PCI-X 1.0 slot supporting 66MHz operation 

 

Software distribution requires 30MB free space 

 

6GB for installation of Endace software, which is optional
