# Napatech

> Napatech is a Danish provider of programmable FPGA-based SmartNICs and network-acceleration hardware for high-speed network monitoring, cybersecurity, and telecom/5G workloads. Its Link-Capture and Link-Inline software plus the NTAPI/NTPL developer SDK let applications capture, filter, and process network traffic at line rate with zero packet loss. The developer surface is a C/C++ hardware SDK (NTAPI) and the NTPL programming language rather than a web/REST API; open-source integrations ship for DPDK, VPP, Open vSwitch, Scapy, and Zeek. This llms.txt was generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the catalog; Napatech does not publish an llms.txt of its own.

## Developer surface
- Hardware SDK: NTAPI (C/C++) — stream functions (Init, NTPL, Open, Close, Get, Release, Read, Write) across net/config/info/event/statistics streams.
- Programming language: NTPL (Napatech Programming Language) for line-rate capture, filtering, and traffic distribution.
- No public web/REST API, no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI, no OAuth surface; the SDK is bundled with SmartNIC driver software from the support portal.
