The project is part of the Waikato Applied Network Dynamics group, focussing on network performance measurements. The goal of the project is to develop flexible, efficient and inexpensive hard- and software solutions for network measurements. The DAG2 ATM card has a replacement in the DAG3 ATM card, the DAG2E is being updated with the DAG3.2E, the DAG2DS3 ATM card is not currently in use. The challenge in supporting OC48c is the fact that the link rate by far exceeds the PCI bus bandwidth, thus capturing at full link rate is impossible. Filtering and data compression methods are being explored to deliver just the necessary information to the measurement applications.
All cards come with highly-accurate timestamping.
Timestamp syncronization of multiple boards is available via cable and the Global Positioning System. Please also have a look at the project history and our forthcoming project documentation . If you have any inquiries about the DAG, do not hesitate to contact the project team .
