For us, this is a symptom of a larger problem. Our network, particularly critical paths, is switched & full-duplex. How does one monitor traffic to and from a device, when all the sensors are single port devices? The hub idea only works if total traffic is under 100Mb. If you have more than 50Mb each way, one literally cannot monitor all the traffic. We are using a band-aid solution by using a sensor w/ GBE port to monitor a 100Mb link, but that doesn't help on the GBE links. What I really want is a "bump in the wire" device that has two ports, and monitors as traffic flows through it. Cheers, Willis Marti Associate Director CIS Networking
