CESNET is ready to present a packet capture demo at 400G networks. As part of its research activities, it has developed a new system for FPGA cards for fast packet reception to DPDK. To simplify the hardware development, we created an open-source Network Development Kit (NDK) framework. Although the demo is presented only on the 400G card, which we have developed in collaboration with Reflex CES, the open-source NDK framework and fast packet capture are available on many other FPGA cards. The open-source framework is ready to use, and we would be happy if you not only use it but also contribute to its further development.
