Silicom, in collaboration with DYNANIC, presents a SmartNIC specifically designed and tailored to support the acceleration of several gateway applications, especially those focused on cybersecurity.

This FPGA-powered solution enables packet capture and pre-processing at speeds up to 400 Gbps, making it ideal for demanding environments such as data centers and telecommunications infrastructure. It supports a wide range of network protocols and enables traffic distribution to CPU cores via hundreds of independent DMA channels based on user-defined rules.

This solution supports real-time feature extraction for precise network monitoring and effective detection of anomalies or threats. Beyond standard metadata such as IP addresses, packet lengths, and timestamps, it can compute advanced metrics like entropy and perform deep packet inspection with pattern matching.

It also provides hardware-level DDoS mitigation, with the ability to filter hundreds of thousands of flows, IP prefixes, and custom rule sets. Configuration is handled through easy-to-use, standardized interfaces such as DPDK RTE Flow. No hardware development tools or FPGA expertise are required—DYNANIC delivers all necessary customizations through its pre-built and configurable modules, enabling software developers to fully leverage the potential of FPGA acceleration.

Whether used for traffic filtering, intrusion detection, lawful intercept, or AI-based network monitoring, this SmartNIC offers a powerful and accessible platform that combines high performance with operational flexibility.
