Far from it. The problem it is trying to solve is very limited: enabling
the insertion of an analyzer in a point-to-point full-duplex link without
resorting to inserting a hub.
WAN analyzers also have pods. They are used to enable the insertion of an
analyzer between a router and CSU/DSU.
These things have little intelligence. They are just doohickeys. They are
also called taps sometimes.
