Breakout network TAPs provide a safe and simple way to access live network traffic and provide copies to separate monitoring ports. In a full-duplex network link, a Breakout network TAP will passively copy the live traffic, separate it into RX and TX streams, and send a copy to two monitoring ports, one for each direction of traffic. This ensures a complete copy of network traffic for your monitoring tools without the risk of packet loss.
Aggregation and Regeneration Ethernet TAPs provide a safe and simple way to collect live network traffic from several parts of the network and aggregate it all to a single monitoring port or take traffic and regenerate it to multiple tools. These tools will help direct traffic whether your network has a one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many configuration.
