TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a network tap for enabling attached devices such as an intrusion detection system to transmit information into a communication line of the network without disrupting the network traffic on the communication line.Abstract:
A network tap for enabling attached devices, such as an intrusion detection system, to transmit information into a communication line of the network without disrupting the network traffic on the communication line. When the attached device is an intrusion detection device, the network tap is connected to a firewall. An Ethernet switch or field programmable gate array (FPGA) is incorporated in the network tap to coordinate the transmission of device data to avoid data collisions with data transmissions already existing in the communication line. The network tap may be operated in various modes to accommodate different capabilities of attached devices. In addition, the network tap has various port configurations to allow a user to connect various attached devices through a single cable or dual cables and to connect various combinations of attached devices.read more

Method for determining ethernet mode of operation during passive monitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, a tap determines whether or not it is operating in the same mode as that being used by devices within the network segment being monitored, if so, the tap continues to operate in the current mode, otherwise the tap switches modes and the process repeats until the tap is deemed to be operating in correct mode.
