Housing for hot pluggable network taps
TLDR
In this paper, the authors propose a housing for hot-pluggable network tap modules, which allows a user to maintain all network taps in any given system in one housing and location.Abstract:
A housing for hot-pluggable network tap modules. The housing allows a user to maintain all network taps in any given system in one housing and location. This increases the ease of maintaining multiple network taps and allows the network tap modules to be powered by a power supply included with the housing. The housings can greatly simplify the process of managing multiple taps. Moreover, the housing are compatible with hot-pluggable network tap modules as well as legacy network tap modules that were developed in the past.read more
