This is a genuine Exablaze ExaNIC X10 ultra-low latency FPGA-accelerated network interface card. It delivers industry-leading performance with application-to-application latencies as low as 780ns for small Ethernet frames, making it an excellent choice for high-frequency trading, packet capture, market data, and other latency-sensitive applications.

Manufacturer's Description:

Exablaze's ExaNIC X10 is an ultra low latency network interface card which delivers the lowest latency in the industry: 780ns application to application for small Ethernet frames (using the native API) and under a microsecond for small TCP and UDP payloads (using the transparent socket acceleration library).

The ExaNIC X10 also has built-in bridging functionality which allows it to function as a miniature switch, avoiding the extra latency of a switch in some common use cases. Additionally, with hardware-based time stamping of every packet to 6.2 nanoseconds resolution, users can rethink their approach to measurement and latency management.

The card features an SMA connector which can accept a PPS in or drive PPS out to further improve the accuracy of timestamps taken throughout the system. The second port can be configured to mirror a copy of all traffic coming into port 1, and/or all traffic leaving port 1.

Performance:

• Raw frames: 60 bytes: 780ns | 300 bytes: 1s
• Raw frames (pre-loaded TX buffer): 60 bytes: 710ns | 300 bytes: 930ns
• UDP (ExaSOCK acceleration): 14 bytes: 880ns | 300 bytes: 1.2s
• TCP (ExaSOCK acceleration): 14 bytes: 930ns | 300 bytes: 1.2s

Timestamping:

• Timestamp resolution: 6.2ns
• Timestamp availability: All received (RX) frames + most recent transmitted (TX) frame
• Time synchronization: Host clock, PTP (IEEE1588 +/-10ns), PPS in/out
• Supported software: Linux PTP (PTP4L), PTPD, exanic-clock-sync, Solarflare PTPD

Other Features:

• Port Mirroring: Port 1 RX/TX mirrored to Port 2
• Port Bridging: Low-latency forwarding between ports 1 and 2 via FPGA
• Zero-Latency Flow steering & hashing: 128 IP rules + 64 MAC rules per port
• High rate packet capture using free Exact Capture software
• FPGA Customization: JTAG header + Low-latency optimized Firmware Development Kit
