Two SDKs. One for maximum performance. One for maximum portability. Both power everything we build — ExaViewer, ExaCapture, ExaVolume, and ExaScale OS all run on jNetWorks.
800 Gbps sustained packet capture with DPDK kernel-bypass and Napatech SmartNIC support. Zero-copy architecture, hardware offloading, and complete L2–L7 protocol analysis. This is the engine that powers every Exa* product.
Sustained line-rate capture. Zero packet loss. Hardware timestamping. Multi-port aggregation. Kernel bypass architecture with optimized ring buffers.
Full DPDK support with poll-mode drivers, multi-queue, flow classification, RSS load balancing, hardware offloads, and flexible filtering.
Full NTAPI integration. NT200/NT100/NT50 support. Hardware filtering, deduplication, flow tracking, precision timestamping, port merging, and slicing.
100+ protocols. Ethernet, VLAN, MPLS, IPv4/v6, TCP, UDP, SCTP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, TLS/SSL decryption, custom protocol plugins, and protocol statistics.
Direct memory access with no kernel copies. Huge page support, NUMA-aware allocation, lock-free queues, and batch processing for minimal CPU overhead.
Checksum offload, segmentation offload, flow director, header splitting, receive-side scaling, hardware timestamping, and VLAN stripping.

<artifactId>jnetpcap-sdk</artifactId>Both SDKs share the same protocol analysis architecture. Moving from jNetPcap to jNetWorks means adding capture backends, not rewriting your application.
