PF_RING™
A Linux kernel module and user-space framework for high-speed packet capture and processing with a consistent API.
What is PF_RING™?
PF_RING™ is a Linux kernel module and user-space framework that enables high-speed packet capture and processing, allowing applications to handle millions of packets per second efficiently. It solves the problem of packet loss and CPU overhead in network traffic analysis by providing optimized drivers and a consistent API.
Network engineers, security analysts, and developers building packet analysis tools, intrusion detection systems, or network monitoring applications that require high packet throughput.
Developers choose PF_RING™ for its ability to capture packets at line rate with minimal CPU usage, its cross-hardware scalability from ARM to Xeon, and its consistent API that simplifies developing high-performance network applications.
