| Packets Per Second | Every adapter optimized for ultra-low latency will bump into a maximum packet-per-second rate when the packets hit Intel’s PCIe implementation. That maximum depends on the Intel chip at the other end of the PCIe bus. Expect about 22 M PPS. |
|---|---|
| On-board clock tick precision | The process associating timestamps with packets has ±5 nanoseconds of uncertainty. If you elect to synchronize with an external time source (“trim the clock”), that process has ±10 nanoseconds of uncertainty. |
| Timestamp Stability | Timestamp stability is determined by the on-board oscillator (a Vectron VT 804 TCXO) or by an external 10 MHz clock connected via an optional timing kit. |
| IEEE 1588 | Time stamps are captured in a manner that allows IEEE 1588 software implementations to deliver highly accurate, synchronized time. |
| Virtualization | The E-Class adapter is compatible with all popular virtual environments, provided that users assign the adapter to a single virtual machine. The alternative, sharing an adapter, conflicts with delivering high performance. |
| Financial Trading Firmware and Software Support | The DBL combination of tightly integrated FPGA firmware and software drives down Tick-To-Trade latency at multiple points in the trading process, allowing applications to deliver higher fill rates. It moves packets into the host computer with the lowest possible latency, then sends those packets directly to specific CPU cores, bypassing the kernel entirely. It also stages TCP market orders or quotes in advance to further reduce latency. |
|---|---|
| DBL End Points | Support for 32 simultaneous rings (DBL endpoints). The size of each ring is limited by the amount of host memory available. Support of up to 511 simultaneous UDP multicast groups open per Ethernet port (1022 per board). |
| Throughput | Sniffer10G provides 100% lossless packet capture and injection for all Ethernet packet sizes. Supports the maximum possible 10G packet rate of 14.8 million packets per second.on each 10 GbE line. |
|---|---|
| Packet Capture Firmware and Software Support | The Sniffer10G packet capture capabilities can be leveraged through the popular Libpcap (Linux) or WinPcap (Windows) library or directly through the Sniffer10G SNF API, which is available as a set of C programming language functions. Using a SNF-aware libpcap/WinPcap, users reference a E-Class network adapter through its Ethernet interface name and then can run existing libpcap/WinPcap-dependent applications, relying on libpcap/WinPcap’s portable interface. For more advanced usage, the SNF API can be directly targeted by user applications. In both usage cases, network access via the SNF interface to the network adapter, rather than via the standard kernel access, provides higher performance. |
| Emissions | Emissions and safety authorities do not certify board-level products. They certify complete systems with all boards installed. To minimize risk for OEM customers, CSPi uses a third-party certification organization to test its Myricom adapters installed into a generic PC. Final test reports are available to customers. We meet US, Canadian, and European emissions, Class A. |
|---|---|
| Compliance | RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) |
| Country of Origin | USA |
| Warranty and add-on support | One year for hardware defects and 90 days for software defects. 90 days of “getting started” telephone and email support as well as any software upgrades shipped within that window. Refer to the support page for options extending the 90-day window. |
