Taps

Provides monitoring and security devices with complete visibility into full-duplex networks

Network Instruments’ nTAPs let you monitor and analyze full-duplex links. nTAPs are critical components for network management because they provide complete and accurate access to live traffic streams. Without an nTAP, a monitoring device may be fed incomplete and misleading information: creating false alarms and missing problems that actually do exist.
