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.

 

Read the article here to help you understand this more -

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.
