What POS support does CoralReef provide?

POS is supported by CoralReef via drivers for the OC3, OC12, and OC48 DAG cards. Other manufacturers (including Lucent) now make capture cards that can tap OC12 and OC48 POS networks. Coralreef is able to collect data from these cards via their libpcap interface, although at high link utilization, the libpcap interface can cause significant packet loss. At this time, CAIDA does not have the resources to develop specialized drivers that minimize packet loss for these cards.
