Hi All, Vendors have long been talking about gigabit ethernet capabilities of their IDS/IPS. It got me thinking that is it just a simple matter of installing a gigabit ethernet card in the appliance and capturing the packets or is there any specialized hardware which is required.
In effect, what all challenges are involved in capturing packets off a gigabit ethernet network so that packets do not drop. Does it just involve the hardware or are there some considerations in software too?
