Issue/Introduction
The ProxySG appliance captures PCAP files in large packet sizes because of TCP segmentation offloading, which is a feature that increases the amount of output for high workload network connections. For TCP segmentation offloading, the PCAP capture point occurs within the NIC interface, before the segmentation of data into packets occurs. The following is an example of a PCAP file:

ProxySG S400 and S500 models can capture PCAP files when the NIC speed is 10GBps.
