Aggregating taps offer a viable new option for analysis solutions originally intended for mirror/ SPAN port deployment.
Change which Span ports or network links are monitored with a click of your mouse.
Unlike a SPAN port, a TAP cannot drop packets, will not affect switch performance, and the 10-Gb nTAP can assure up to 20 Gbps of data delivery to the analysis device.
