Title: Message
Hi,
 
If we capture an enterprise traffic on a switch by mirroring all traffic on the port where we capture.
 
What is the maximum speed we can capture without losing packets?
 
Does it depends on the NIC type?
 
Does it depends on the PC processor?
 
On both?
 
Is there a specific technic to capture in this conditions?
 
Kind regards,
Michel
