The Endace DAG cards claim they can move 7 gbps over a PCI-X bus from the NIC to main DRAM. They claim a full 10gbps on a PCIE bus.
I wonder, has anyone heard of this used for IDS? I've been looking at building a commodity SNORT solution, and wondering if a powerful network card will help, or would the bottleneck be in processing the packets and overhead from the OS? - naveen
