A 10GE monitoring system (23c3)

Capturing network packets is a valuable technique for troubleshooting network problems. Capturing at network speeds less, or up to one gigabit per second is feasible with a fast general purpose computer hardware. But that hardware is to slow for Ten gigabit per second ethernet (10GE). Hence, special hardware is required. This topic describes the modification of a commercially available 10GE networks security system, into a network analyser. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1640.en.html
