Endace Ltd. (Founded 2001) is a NZ-based company specializing in network capture and monitoring products. The company was founded after the success of the DAG project at the School of Computing and mathematical Sciences at Waikato University in NZ.
The first cards designed at the University had the following design aims:
Accurate and high resolution time measurement, locally or globally synchronised (< 1 microsec)
Wide range of protocols and network speeds
Flexible, programmable design
Low cost, open architecture
Transmit capability for testing
4 Generations of cards later and the company now covers most if not all SDH, SONET and Ethernet link types as well as older protocols such as E1/T1 and DS3.
