A network tap is a device that provides access to traffic on a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Network taps are used for monitoring network traffic, analyzing network usage, and troubleshooting network issues. They work by connecting an external device, such as a monitor or sniffer, to a point in the network where it can view all traffic. Network taps provide a passive way of capturing traffic, as they do not interfere with or modify data in any way.
