A network tap is a system that monitors events on a local network. A tap is typically a dedicated hardware device, which provides a way to access the data flowing across a computer network. The network tap has three ports: an A port, a B port, and a monitor port. A tap inserted between A and B passes all traffic 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 syste
