Configuring Packet Slicing

Truncation and Load Balancing

You can use packet truncation, which is a unique capability available only on NVIDIA platforms, to truncate the packets which are sent to the tool. This helps tools reduce the storage capacity needed for saving packets for future analysis. It truncates the packet for the given offset.

This feature is only supported on the NVIDIA and Broadcom TD3 platforms

The packet will be truncated beginning at the Ethernet header
