How to Leverage Existing 10G or 25G Packet Brokers to Monitor 40G or 100G Multimode Networks?

As network traffic continues to scale, many organizations find themselves needing to monitor high-speed 40G or 100G links while still relying on existing 10G or 25G network packet brokers. The challenge is efficiently capturing and analyzing data from these high-speed networks without immediately upgrading packet brokers, which can be costly. Fortunately, by using the right network TAPs and breakout strategies, you can extend the life of your existing monitoring infrastructure while ensuring complete visibility.
