Colasoft TAP
High-Density Data Collection & Distribution
High-density traffic access point with zero packet loss for 10G/100G traffic collection, intelligent filtering and distribution. Break through traditional mirroring bottlenecks with line-rate forwarding.
Colasoft Enhanced Network TAP, also known as TAP Traffic Distribution Product, is a significant achievement of Colasoft's over twenty years of focus on network traffic analysis technology. This product breaks through the limitations of traditional switch mirror (SPAN) ports, adopting dedicated hardware design and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture to achieve high-performance, zero packet loss network traffic collection, filtering, and intelligent distribution.
In today's complex network environment, network traffic is growing exponentially. Traditional SPAN ports often face issues such as insufficient bandwidth, severe packet loss, and complex configuration, making it difficult to meet modern network monitoring needs. Colasoft TAP perfectly solves these pain points through innovative technical architecture. It can forward network packets at line rate, maintaining zero packet loss performance in high-speed network environments of 10G, 40G, or even 100G, ensuring that monitoring tools can obtain complete and accurate network traffic data.
The product supports various flexible traffic distribution modes, including traffic aggregation (many-to-one), traffic replication (one-to-many), load balancing, and more. It provides intelligent filtering rules based on multiple dimensions such as five-tuple, VLAN, and protocols. This enables enterprises to precisely distribute critical traffic to different security devices, monitoring tools, or analysis platforms according to actual business needs, achieving optimal configuration of network resources.
