Introduction:

HIGH PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS

10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC network adapters are designed for applications such as cybersecurity and high frequency trading where accurate timestamping, lossless packet sniffing and injection at line rate, and cutting edge latencies are required.

TIMECODE SYNCHRONIZATION

Timecode-based synchronization provides more accurate time information than other approaches such as precision time protocol (PTP) and network time protocol (NTP).

Timecode-based synchronization is not subject to network delays, doesn’t require a dedicated Ethernet network for time distribution, is easier to deploy and maintain, and allows full use of both adapter ports while maintaining timestamp accuracy.

PTP-based solutions are not suited for accurate distributed timestamping and NTP-based solutions are at least an order of magnitude less accurate.
