Solving the Challenges of Packet Capture: Accelerating Root Cause Analysis with Profitap and NetAlly
7 PagesThis white paper explains how Profitap Booster In-Line and NetAlly EtherScope nXG simplify lossless packet capture for network troubleshooting. SPAN ports are inexpensive and convenient but may alter timing, omit certain frames, require switch access, and drop packets when aggregated traffic exceeds port capacity. Standard aggregation TAPs can also become oversubscribed, while computers with 10G interfaces may lack the processing and storage performance required for full-rate capture. Profitap’s Booster combines four fault-tolerant inline TAPs, supports PoE, remains connected during power loss, and aggregates up to eight gigabits of bidirectional traffic onto a 10G output. EtherScope nXG captures this traffic at full line rate without packet loss, discovers connected devices, resolves name
