| Subject: | Passive Network Taps - on the cheap |

I've finally finished a major upgrade to my work on construction and use of passive network taps.
Granted, the best tap is a commercial tap. But, a home-built passive network tap can be used quite successfully to monitor network traffic.
The original paper on construction, with minor modifications:

The new paper on using the tap, with recent test lab results:

Anyone who is interested, please feel free to have a look. For any comments, suggestions, or corrections, please see the papers for contact information.
Just my way of saying thanks for all the great information I get in this list. I hope my many hours of testing and research benefits someone.
