High Performance Networks (HPN)

Challenges of High Performance Networks
– Extremely low latency
– Massive packet rate processing capability
– Capability to stream large numbers of data sets

The Solution:
– Emulex OneConnect® Network Xceleration (NX) solutions
• OneConnect OCe12000-DX family of high performance10GbE NICs
– Windows, Linux, Apple OSX support
• FastStack family of network accelerators
– FastStackTM DBLTM
– FastStackTM Sniffer10GTM
– FastStackTM VideoPumpTM


FastStack™ Network Acceleration
FastStack DBL
 Superior latency performance: 2.9µs for UDP, 3.8µs for TCP
 Predictable performance
 Markets: Financial High Frequency Trading (HFT)

FastStack Sniffer10G
 High throughput, lossless packet capture and analysis
 Packet capture and wire speed packet injection - 14.88 Mpps
 Markets: Analytics for network security and surveillance, financial,
measurement and packet generation, DDoS defense appliances

FastStack VideoPump
 Accelerate and improve data streaming
 Line-rate streams with low CPU usage via packet pacing
 Scalable: Support in excess of 25,000 streams at 3Mb/s
 Markets: Video content delivery, IPTV, Telcos and Network providers


What Matters in Lawful Intercept & Network Analytics

High Performance
• Line rate throughput (up to 14.88 Mpps)
• Process more “rules” through your application
• Capture - regardless of packet size
• Injection – for network infrastructure monitoring and probing

Flexibility and efficiency
• Compatible with industry standard-interface – libpcap
• Functions on an industry-standard 10Gb-E PCIe adapter
• Easily programmable
• Support Windows and Linux

Cost Effective
• Broader deployment
• Create more robust/secure environments


FastStack Sniffer10G Overview
Lossless packet capture/injection enabling superior network analytics

High Performance Flexibility Cost Effective

- Kernel by-pass architecture - Enables Deep Packet - No specialized capture
Inspection (DPI) hardware (ie: Appliance)
- Delivers line rate, loss less
packet capture and injection - Multi-core awareness
- In “Sniffer Mode”, packet-
without introducing latency
- Flexibility of how data can rate sensitive firmware
- Provides lossless packet be analyzed runs on MIPS-like
capture regardless of packet processor on the adapter
size - Supports packet capture
and injection at
14.88Mpps (Million - Leverages industry
packets per second) standard 10GbE


Sniffer10G Architecture

 Kernel By-pass
 No context switching
 Zero copy


Maximum Receive Packet Rate (Mpps)

SNF API:
–14.88Mpps, line rate
–Lossless packet capture
–Documentation and support for SNF API
customization
SNF libpcap:
–14.88Mpps, line rate SNF libpcap
–Lossless packet capture
–Sniffer10G links/hooks for libpcap
Through OS Kernel: Through OS
– Less than 4Mpps
– In-kernel packet capture
0.0 5.0 10.0 15.0
– Application does not support SNF Mpps
API or libpcap


Sniffer10G – Technology Application

Network Surveillance & Intrusion Detection &
Monitoring Protection

 Complete network visibility  Lossless packet capture
 100% packet capture  No missed threats
 More cost effective vs. FPGA  Increased network availability
Value Prop adapters: 10X ASP
