Abstract:
A network captured traffic distribution device may receive captured data packets including original destination information. The captured data packets may then be encapsulated with, for example, new address information so that they may be transmitted toward a destination intended by the network capture traffic distribution device and not the original destination. Captured data packets may also be reformatted by the network capture traffic distribution device in order to, for example, be compatible with one or more devices communicatively coupled to the network capture traffic distribution device. Optionally, the encapsulated and/or reformatted captured data packets may further be encrypted prior to transmission toward their intended destination.
