High speed data packet pcap capture and storage with error detection-correction

A method comprising:

• operating a plurality of non-volatile packet storage memory units;
• extracting bytes from an analog interface by a PHY network interface unit;
• arranging to receive bytes into packets and further process packets into blocks by a MAC unit coupled to the PHY network interface unit, where each of the blocks contains a plurality of packets;
• creating P4 Table matches of the received packets by a P4 unit coupled to the MAC unit;
• generating Marker(n) for each n, by a Marker unit coupled to the P4 unit, the Marker(n) respectively containing one or more timestamps and per-packet matches within an associated Marker(n) with their LBA storage address;
• and
• creating a PCAP file format by a PCAP unit coupled to the MAC unit, wherein PCI unit is coupled to PCAP unit to create ANSI T10 LBA storage commands, wherein HBA unit is coupled to PCI unit converting LBA into Read/write commands to a packet storage system,
• wherein, a non-volatile file system memory unit comprises a file system and wherein the file system, coupled to the Marker unit to accept the Marker(n), writes separate from packet storage system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon, the computer program code, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform a method comprising:

• operating a plurality of non-volatile packet storage memory units;
• extracting bytes from an analog interface by a PHY network interface unit;
• arranging to receive bytes into packets and further process packets into blocks by a MAC unit coupled to the PHY network interface unit, where each of the blocks contains a plurality of packets;
• creating P4 Table matches of the received packets by a P4 unit coupled to the MAC unit;
• generating Marker(n) for each n, by a Marker unit coupled to the P4 unit, the Marker(n) respectively containing one or more timestamps and per-packet matches within an associated Marker(n) with their LBA storage address;
• and
• creating a PCAP file format by a PCAP unit coupled to the MAC unit, wherein PCI unit is coupled to PCAP unit to create ANSI T10 LBA storage commands, wherein HBA unit is coupled to PCI unit converting LBA into Read/write commands to a packet storage system,
• wherein, a non-volatile file system memory unit comprises a file system and wherein the file system, coupled to the Marker unit to accept Marker(n), writes separate from packet storage system.
