Information
Capture/block policies previously stored are temporarily disabled during this operation and
traffic is forwarded. The new rules take effect when the loading process is complete.
Address 24
(PCI-X FPGA) This address is mapped to the parameter Burst size (measured in 32-bit
words). This parameter sets the number of 32-bit words to transfer in one
PCI-X master cycle. Larger bursts achieve higher throughput but may
increase buffering latency and contention with other devices sharing the
same bus. The default value is 1024.
Address 36
(PCI-X FPGA)
This address specifies the count in PCI-X clocks before the DMA buffer is
transferred to the host if the buffer contains less than the programmed
burst size.
