Analyzing Switched Networks – This white paper was written during the initial mainstream adoption of switch infrastructure in enterprise networks.  The overall concern during this time was that adoption of switched infrastructure made network analysis irrelevant at best, and impossible at worst.  The purpose of this white paper was to serve as a stop gap measure to put aside customer concerns and provide some initial tools to keep current product relevant.  Development of the paper combined the efforts of all major switch infrastructure manufacturers at the time, and helped drive all of these partners towards including analysis ports and other tools into their equipment, as well as establish a de-facto standard language around the discussion of switched analysis monitoring ports.
