Hey folks β Iβve got a Throwing Star LAN Tap (replica) and Iβm using it for passively capturing traffic for lab troubleshooting and packet analysis. Iβm curious about real-world experience: how much latency did you actually measure when inserting a tap like this into a gigabit link? Any numbers (Β΅s/ms) from hardware vs. inline solutions, or tips on test methodology you recommend?
For context: Iβm planning to use it for troubleshooting, capturing brief bursts for analysis, and teaching/demoing packet flows β so low added latency is important but Iβm not running production workloads through it. Appreciate any real measurements, test setups, or pitfall warnings.
