Tcpdump hardware requirements for a 100mb line tap

2002-06-11 Thread Justin Funke
I am going to deploy tcpdump on a full duplex LAN tap capturing the full packets (-s 1500) Does anyone know what the processor/ram requirements would be to just write these packets to a file. I don't think it would take much but finding specifics is proving to be difficult. Thanks, Justin.

Ethernet Tap

2001-11-24 Thread Justin Funke
Has anyone seen inexpensive copper ethernet taps in their travels? I am just looking for a 1 port tap that will support half or full duplex. Needed to attach a sniffer on a full duplex segment of the LAN. Thanks, Justin
