I need to set up a box at our pop to sniff inbound and outbound traffic. 
I want to set it up as a passive device, or connect to a monitoring port 
on our switch, so if the box fails it does not kill our traffic. The 
device will need to be able to monitor thousands of connections without 
choking. I am pretty sure I would only turn it on when it seemed there 
was suspicious traffic at one of our member schools. Any recommendations 
of a stable solution with a nice interface??
