Two SDKs. One for maximum performance. One for maximum portability. Both power everything we build — ExaViewer, ExaCapture, ExaVolume, and the Vantage Platform all run on jNetWorks.
The foundation of the Vantage Platform. 800 Gbps line-rate capture with DPDK and Napatech SmartNIC support. Full L2–L7 protocol dissection. Native ExaVolume integration: read and write directly with advanced analysis, indexing, metadata, and sidecar support. Writes at block level to underlying storage — or to distributed storage fabric for massive scale (RDMA-striped across network nodes directly from adapters to SSD targets).
800 Gbps sustained capture. Kernel bypass. NUMA-aware. Multi-queue. Zero-copy packet delivery.
Direct read/write to ExaVolume. Advanced indexing, metadata tokens, sidecar generation. Block-level writes for efficiency.
Napatech SmartNIC offload. FPGA-ready (Forge integration). Distributed scale path via RDMA block storage.
100+ protocols. Stream reassembly. Application metadata. TLS decryption hooks. Custom dissectors.
The original Java packet library. libpcap wrapper with protocol dissection. 17+ years, 1M+ installs. Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, macOS). Ideal for developers, analysis tools, and education.
Start with jNetPcap. Scale to jNetWorks. Same API patterns, same dissection engine — just faster capture backends and ExaVolume integration when you upgrade.
Fluent API, try-with-resources, immutable packet views, builder patterns. Panama FFI ready.
Native memory access. No buffer copies. ByteBuffer integration. Memory-mapped files. Efficient batch access. Minimal GC pressure.
1M+ installs worldwide. Fortune 500 deployments. Active maintenance. Regular security updates. Backward compatibility. Long-term support.

<artifactId>jnetpcap</artifactId>Both SDKs share the same protocol analysis architecture and API patterns. Moving from jNetPcap to jNetWorks means adding high-performance capture backends and native ExaVolume support — not rewriting your application.
