<snip> Is this type of Tap compatible with SNORT? If yes, is the information on "Terminate Sessions" on page 17 still accurate with the need for two Taps and a Top Layer Switch or can it be done with this type of single Active Tap? Also, there is a Datacom Systems' SINGLEstream which has Two Taps, both of which "combine the two data streams, allowing any connected 10/100 monitoring device to receive a full-duplex stream of data with one NIC." Could this be used for bi-directional Kills? </snip> Yes, this type of tap is compatable with snort but if you are looking to kill connections, you can not use a tap. A tap by it's very nature is just that - a tap into a physical connection and therefore is a "read only" port...nothing can be sent back to the tap via these ports.
