I have a project that I may have to capture from a DS3 and/or from an ISL
bundle of two or three gigabit Ethernets.

What I have done previously with standard 10/100 ethernet is to simply
install two cards in a linux or XP box, create a bridge interface, and
capture off the bridge, so I don't have to create mirror or monitor ports on
the switch.  (Don't want to modify the environment I'm capturing from).  

My questions are whether there is a card or cards that would be available to
do a similar scenario on the DS3 or ISL bundle and/or if anyone has had
similar experience that they could convey regarding a better way to attack
this problem, or lessons learned?

Thanks in advance!
