Hardware capture platforms

["John A. Kilpatrick" <john () hypergeek net>]

We've deployed a bunch taps in our network and now we need a platform on 
which to capture the data.  Our bandwidth is currently pretty low but 
I've got 8 links to tap, which means I need 16 ports.  Has anyone done any 
research on doing accurate packet capture with commodity hardware?
