Hello jcr, Not quite sure if this would meet your needs, but you could look at anue systems :
http://www.anuesystems.com Cheers, Simon. On Wed May 6 13:33 , "J.C. Roberts" sent: I need to collect raw throughput statistics without increasing latency or reducing bandwidth on 10GbE fiber links, so most of the typical methods are out of the question (i.e. like bridging, SPAN sessions on a switch, ...). As far as my understanding allows, I believe the best way to do this is with a physical network tap connected to monitoring equipment. I figure folks running/maintaining OpenBSD firewalls might be familiar with using physical network taps for deploying IDS/IPS since using bridges on such systems is a "Bad Idea" (R)(TM). I've found one company [1] which offers what I need, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a vendor of physical network taps? Thanks, jcr [1] http://www.networktaps.com/products/index.html -- J.C. Roberts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC% din egen, gratis e-postadresse pC% Start.no
