Which tool would be optimal to use for monitoring network traffic by making a copy of traffic and sending it to a monitoring device without interrupting the flow of the original data?
A network tap, or test access point, is specifically designed to monitor network traffic. It is used to create a mirror of network traffic that can be analyzed or inspected by a network monitoring system without causing any disruption to the actual data flow. Network taps are used for the diagnosis of network problems or for monitoring network security and performance.
