Features and FPGA images
In Link™ Capture Software 11.7 the NT40E3-4-PTP SmartNIC contains two different FPGA images, a capture image (default) and a capture/replay image. Not all features are included in both images. This table shows the features that are only included in one of the images.
| Feature | Capture Image | Capture/Replay Image |
|---|---|---|
| Timed host-based transmission | - | X |
| Local retransmission | - | X |
| Limited low-rate transmission | X | - |
| Deduplication | X | - |
| Start-of-frame time stamps | X | - |
| VN-Tag classification | X | - |
The capture/replay image is exactly the same as the NT40E3-4-PTP image in Link™ Capture Software 11.6. The capture image contains the new deduplication feature but no replay features. Apart from these differences the rest of the features are the same in both images.
