Abstract
An Enhanced Ethernet Network Interface Card (EENIC) interfaces with a host and a network. The EENIC includes an internal network interface controller (NIC), a field programmable array (FPGA) in electrical communication with the internal network interface controller, and a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) controller, in independent electrical communication with the field programmable array or the internal network interface controller. The FPGA is configured to intercept data from either the host, or from the network, or from a combination thereof. Additionally, the configured interception is undetected by the host, or by the network, or a combination thereof.
