World first SINGLEstream™ 10/100 Link Aggregation RegenTAP combo provides a superior solution for 24x7 monitoring of full-duplex Ethernet links.
While traditional 10/100 taps might enable full-duplex monitoring of all traffic on a network link, they transmit the data to the monitoring device (e.g. analyzer, IDS, probe) in two separate half-duplex streams. Not only does this require the monitoring device to have two network interface cards (NIC), it also requires that the device be capable of combining and processing both streams of data in order to monitor both sides of the conversation. Not all monitoring devices have that capability
The SINGLEstream™ faultlessly combines the two data streams, allowing any connected 10/100 monitoring device to receive a full-duplex stream of data with one NIC.
Additionally, the SINGLEstream™ provides a unique feature to help manage network resources - a second monitor port. With an extra monitor port, two devices (such as an analyzer and an intrusion prevention device) can receive the same full-duplex transmission, so there will never be contention for access to the network link.
Although ideal for placement in networks where utilization is consistently under 50% on each side, the SINGLEstream™ can help prevent data overload and dropped packets due to traffic "bursts" - sudden, temporary increases in bandwidth utilization. A built-in memory buffer can manage overflows in data transmission and can allow seamless continuity of full-duplex monitoring.
Just like all our tap products, the SINGLEstream™ is completely non-intrusive. The SINGLEstream's industry-leading, fault-tolerant design has been thoroughly tested and has proven that even if power is lost to the tap, network traffic will continue to flow.
