In my work, I use a DataCom SS-100 tap (10/100mb). Works great. The use of Ethernet hubs is full of problems including Speed and Duplex issues and port mirroring on an Ethernet Switch does not always work as expected. While true taps are more expensive that other solutions, if you do sniffing for a living, then they can't be beat.

During my following web search, i stumbled upon the Netgear GS105E: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/PlusSwitches/GS105E.aspx which seems to be the perfect fit in terms of size/prize/functions. It is in fact a mini-switch that can do port-mirroring according to the specs. The question i have is if anybody already tested this device and can confirm the port mirroring capabilities. Especially i wanted to know if it is possible to mirror outbound only, so as not to disturb the host network.
Lars, You have found a really nice switch. I had done the same searching as you have and ended up with a real hub which does the job for hobby type of sniffing. But in a production environment a switch is much better. I'm also interested to hear from people who have used it. Please let us know how it does the job if you might buy one.
