Just wanted to point out that some taps do allow traffic to be injected: http://www.netoptics.com/products/product_family_details.asp?cid=4&pid=115 -----Original Message----- From: Eoin Miller [mailto:eoin.miller () trojanedbinaries com] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 2:08 PM On 3/24/2010 4:12 PM, akos.daniel () db-soft hu wrote:
Hi, What is the difference between a network hub and a network tap? Maybe a stupid question, but is there a "gigabit hub" on the market or for gigabit should I look for a tap? (span port is not possible in my case...) Thanks for the info. Akos
Hub can't do full duplex, so it may hurt your network speed to put it in the loop. Plus, a device can't inject traffic into a tap like it can with a hub. Tap > SPAN > hub. -- Eoin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
