1.2 DAG 6.1S Card Product Description
Description
The DAG 6.1S card is of a series specifically designed for network
surveillance applications. It is optimized to enable header-only or full
packet capture from PoS OC-192c or STM-64c links, and 10 Gigabit
Ethernet 10GBase-LR and 10GBase-LW links.

Figure 1-1 shows the DAG 6.1S PCI-X card.
Figure 1-1. DAG 6.1S PCI-X Card.
Installed in a PCI-X 1.0 slot the DAG 6.1S card only operates at 66, 100,
and 133 MHz PCI-X for full packet capture at line rate and allows
recording of all header information and/or payload with a high precision
timestamp.
The packet header and payload information can be stored for later in-depth
analysis, or used in real-time for a variety of network monitoring
applications, such as billing and intrusion detection systems.
IP header traces can also be used operationally to determine link
performance and application mixes, find “top talkers” or generate
source/destination AS matrices for specific network links.
