The Network Critical aggregation 10/100 taps have the best aggregation and time assimilation programs.

 

I have tested them against many of the others and found them to be one of the best.

 

Any TAP is going to be better than a Hub or Switch!!!!

 

Do NOT use a HUB or SWITCH if you want to get full access and real timing for your analysis/monitoring.

If you wait till Sharkfest, there might be some given away by sponsor companies.

 

Also check e-bay, I have seen some good TAPs there for under 100.00 – just 10/100.

 

Have fun  - Tim

90% of what I do is 100mb/sec.

DataCom also sells 1gig aggregation taps (both Tx and Rx are captured)

Do you guys really tend to work with 10/100 links these days?

In my work, I use a DataCom SS-100 tap (10/100mb).  Works great.

The use of Ethernet hubs is full of problems including Speed and Duplex issues and port mirroring on an Ethernet Switch does not always work as expected.

While true taps are more expensive that other solutions, if you do sniffing for a living, then they can't be beat.
