A Network TAP (Terminal Access Point) denotes a system that monitors events on a local network in order to aid administrators (or attackers) in analyzing the network. The tap itself is typically a dedicated hardware device, which provides a way to access the data flowing across a computer network. In many cases, it is desirable for a third party to monitor the traffic between two points in the network. If the network between points A and B consists of a physical cable, a "network tap" may be the best way to accomplish this monitoring. The network tap has (at least) three ports: an A port, a B port, and a monitor port. A tap inserted between A and B passes all traffic (send and receive data streams) through unimpeded in real time, but also copies that same data to its monitor port, enabling a third party to listen. Network taps are commonly used for network intrusion detection systems, VoIP recording, network probes, RMON probes, packet sniffers, and other monitoring and collection devices and software that require access to a network segment. Taps are used in security applications because they are non-obtrusive, are not detectable on the network (having no physical or logical address), can deal with full-duplex and non-shared networks, and will usually pass through or bypass traffic even if the tap stops working or loses power.

Zero-interrupt network tap
A network tap monitors network information flow over a particular connection. By duplicating the signal and diverting a copy, the information flow can be analyzed, both in real time and without interference through the monitoring process. When the power to the tap is either turned on or off, however, the change in impedance in the tap's circuit can create an interference spike in the connection that interrupts the information flow. By reducing or eliminating the impedance change in the tap circuitry, such disruptive interruptions can be eliminated.

A single-usage network tap monitors network information flow over a particular connection. Instead of requiring a tap for each analytical device, by incorporating elements that regenerate, spread, and coordinate the timing of the signal, multiple, simultaneous, and parallel analytical devices can monitor a particular network connection through one tap, It incorporates four amplifiers preferably manufactured on the same IC die with high-impedance input terminals connected directly to the two conductors of a gigabit Ethernet local area network digital transmission line so as not to load or otherwise upset its impedance or other parameters. The output terminals of the operational amplifiers are connected to and match the input impedance of the digital transmission protocol Gigabit analyzer. The gain of the operational amplifiers is arranged so as to replicate at the input of the analyzer the signals appearing on the Gigabit local area network transmission line with uninterruptible power supply.

Intelligent fast switch-over network tap system and methods
ActiveUS20100177644A1Effective maintenanceAvoiding wider networkError preventionTransmission systemsCross connectionActive monitoring
An intelligent fast switch-over network active tap system enables active monitoring of a network segment connected between network devices. A fail-safe relay subsystem is coupled between a pair of network ports, enabling transmission of network communications signals through a passive cross-connect between the network ports or through an active bridge subsystem. The active bridge subsystem is capable of independently establishing network links with the network devices, and a separate network link with a monitoring device. A controller manages operation of the relay and active bridge subsystems, including switches between passive and active network transmission through the tap system and to determine and establish the active network links subject to symmetric network link parameters and state. Thereby, the network link status of the connected network devices is preserved on switch between active and passive transmission and correctly reflected in the presence of link and power failures.

Network Eavesdropping Detection
In one implementation, network taps are detected using impedance measurements from a network. A network device is configured to calculate a baseline impedance as a function of a sequence of impedance values. As impedance measurements subsequent to the sequence of impedance values are received, the network device is configured to calculate a difference between the impedance measurement and the baseline impedance. The network device generates a network tap warning message when the difference between the impedance measurement and the baseline impedance exceeds a threshold. The network device may be an endpoint computer, a data switch, or an external device remote from the network.

Fractal dimension analysis for data stream isolation
A network tap [120 / 220] monitors traffic transmissions in a network [100 / 200]. The tap records transmission time information [501] between data transmitted in the network. From the transmission time information, the tap calculates differences in transmission times [500], and assumes the differences in transmission times are distributed as fractional gaussian noise. Housdorff dimensions are calculated for the fractional gaussian noise distributions. The Housdorff dimensions are used to generate traffic analysis information for the network, even when the data transmitted on the network is encrypted.
