Hi,
We are about to buy NICs for sniffing networks by means of port-mirroring on a PC running Linux/Ubuntu. Unfortunately we are not sure yet about the network throughput that we will have to support. We would like to start looking for a�10 Gigabit/sec�NIC costing around 250 USD. Moreover, we are not sure about specific NIC-options we should look out for which might further reduce packet drops (such as the various offload-options).�Hopefully somebody out there could provide us with more information!
Thank you,
Andrej
