Inline forwarding
The DAG 9.2X2 card supports inline forwarding which enables the card to receive and transmit packets
directly from a single memory buffer. This allows you to forward packets from the DAG card receive
interface(s) to the DAG cards transmit interface(s) without the requirement to copy them. Using inline
forwarding you can receive, inspect, filter and forward packets between ports.
dagfwddemo
which is a tool supplied with your DAG card demonstrates how you can apply a user-defined
Packet Filter (BPF) to the traffic forwarded by the DAG card. Packets which match the filter are
forwarded, while packets that do not match are dropped.

Timed Release TERF (TR-TERF)
The Timed Release TERF (TR-TERF) module is an option that enables you to retransmit an ERF packet
trace while reproducing the time intervals of the packets within that stream. It is able to transmit on all
channels.
TR-TERF has two modes of operation.
•
No Delay Mode.
•
Relative Timed Release Mode.
Triggered Timed Release TERF (TR-TERF)
The Triggered Timed Release TERF (TR-TERF) module extends the functionality of TR-TERF by setting an
absolute time at which to start the transmission is to start. This enables synchronization of multiple
replay sessions across multiple DAG cards and even systems, provided that the DAG card clocks are
synchronized.
