                <p class="light">Focussed on providing the fastest possible network packet reading solution out there, FPCAP outperforms alternatives, including libpcap and PcapPlusPlus. Written entirely in modern C++, FPCAP puts the performance where it matters - in the hands of the users and their big data use-cases.</p>

                <h5 class="center">Memory efficient</h5>
                <p class="light">With great bandwidth comes great memory consumption, but not so for FPCAP. By leveraging built-in OS features like memory-mapped reading, FPCAP reads even the biggest capture files without a hustle. From Raspberry Pis to cloud computing clusters - the sky is the limit.</p>

                <p class="light">Tired of ever-growing heaps of incompatible software dependencies? FPCAPs zero dependency architecture and modern CMake build environment require only the standard library to build. Optional dependencies, such as compression are bundled and all interfaces follow modern C++ guidelines.</p>

            <p class="grey-text text-lighten-4">
              The FPCAP library (formerly MMPR - "A memory mapping PcapNg reader written in C++") was originally created in March of 2022 as part of the European research project <a href="https://protect.ai-net.tech/">AI-NET-PROTECT</a>,
              funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant number 16KIS1282 (06/2020-01/2024).
              Back then, FPCAP was created as a fast and memory-efficient alternative to libpcap and PcapPlusPlus, and is since maintained as an Open Source project.
