Capture your network traffic without dropping any packets. With support for full-rate Gigabit capture, you can capture even the smallest and most challenging packet sizes.
Get full-rate, aggregated traffic in timestamp order from all ports on all TurboCap NICs on your system. Aggregation is presented as a virtual port called a Board Aggregating Port (BAP). Aggregation provides a means to measure packet delays between multiple sources.
When in pass-thru mode, injection is done simultaneously for pairs of ports on the same board, meaning TurboCap can act as a network tap too.
TurboCap capture is integrated with WinPcap and libpcap, and supports applications such as Wireshark, tpcdump and ntop. Add-on features include an API developer's pack for writing/porting your own Gigabit Ethernet applications.
Many use the NIC to create packet capture platforms for reliable full line rate GbE packet capture. Others use the NIC as the basis for their own product development or product testing using the TurboCap API.

One box sent to you will include both hardware and software components as part of the TurboCap product.
What is in the Box?
• One TurboCap PCIe 4x board
• An installation Guide
If you are a developer interested in directly accessing the features of the TurboCap board for your application, you can access the TurboCap developer’s kit as part of the driver installation.
In a few easy steps, you can install the TurboCap board on a PC.
Once that is done, you are ready for the driver software.
Lastly, if you do not have it already, you will install Wireshark®
TurboCap supports receiving and transmitting packets from each of the ports of the board.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: For capture, TurboCap receives all the packets from the Ethernet cable attached to a port of the board and delivers those packets to an application running on top of TurboCap.
Step 2: For injection, TurboCap receives packets from an application and transmits them on a specific port of the board.
TurboCap includes three main components - TurboCap Board, TurboCap Driver and TurboCap user API
Step 3: Executes packet captures and stores data
Executes packet captures via a web-based portal for centralized control and creates a federated repository of packet traces.
Step 4: Controls access
Controls access to agents and packet captures through role-based security and integration with LDAP/AD, TACACS+, Radius, etc.
Step 5: Empower the end user
With integration with OPNET AppResponse Xpert™ or OPNET AppTransaction Xpert, your users can easily, automatically indicate when they are experiencing a performance problem. No need to call the helpdesk, or try to replicate the problem.Back to Top
You can choose between two-port and four-port TurboCap versions.
