Collect only the data YOU want and Increase Tool Efficiency
The SINGLEstream™ Aggregation Tap w/ Filtering gives you the power to apply port level packet filtering to your data, so you can easily ensure your network and security tools only receive traffic of interest.
Prevent Port Oversubscription and Data Overload
Line-rate filtering provides you the ability to eliminate unwanted traffic from your analysis tools or security sensors. With less data to work with, network devices run faster and more effectively, and through filtering, you can reduce or eliminate the possibility of port oversubscription.

Eliminate Bottlenecks - Load Balance your Network and your Network Tools
Using the built-in technologies of link aggregation, regeneration, and filtering, you can quickly and easily load balance both your network and your network tools and eliminate bottlenecks.
- Aggregation lets you load balance your network with confidence. The FSS will combine one or more full duplex streams of data from one or more network segments, reassemble the conversation, and send an exact copy to your connected monitoring device.
- Regeneration allows you to attach more than one device to a single network segment. Connect an analyzer and a security sensor to the same link, and you can troubleshoot your network without having to disconnect your IDS. Add filtering, and you can send only the data you want to each tool, improving monitoring efficiency, speed, and network uptime.
- Regeneration also allows you to connect two or more identical devices to the same link, so you can load balance your tools. Extending the power of regeneration with filtering, you can filter and send data to each tool based on whatever parameter you choose (e.g. IP range). Distributing processes over multiple tools allows them to work faster and reduces or eliminates network bottlenecks that can be caused by slow processing of data.
Monitor Asymmetrically Routed Data with Ease
- Aggregate and reassemble full duplex conversations from multi-trunked links, redundant networks, EtherChannel, load balanced servers, and asymmetrically routed traffic
- Simultaneously monitor data at multiple points on the network with the same set of devices for a complete end-to-end view of your traffic
Fewer Tools to Manage - Save Time and Money
Aggregation lets you combine multiple network segments into one output of data, so you can use as little as one tool to monitor multiple networks. Central deployment saves time, while fewer tools saves money on deployment and ongoing maintenance and licensing costs.
Empower your Legacy Network Devices
Don't throw out your old tools - empower them! With proper uses of filtering, you can even use a Gigabit tool to monitor a 10 Gigabit network. Available in fiber and copper, the Filtered SINGLEstream™ Link Aggregation Tap can maximize the ROI of your existing network devices.
Filtered SINGLEstream™ Link Aggregation Tap
Model Number: FSS-1000
The Filtered SINGLEstream™ Link Aggregation Tap gives you the power to apply port level packet filtering to your in-line monitoring solutions to ensure your network and security tools only get the data they need.
Filtered SINGLEstream™ Dual-Link Aggregation Tap
Model Number: FSS-2000
The Filtered SINGLEstream™ Dual Link Aggregation Tap gives you the power to apply port level packet filtering to your in-line monitoring solutions to ensure your network and security tools only get the data they need.
SINGLEstream™ 10 Gigabit Link Aggregation Tap (LR, SR, or ER)
Model Number: SS-1204-10G
The SINGLEstream™ 1204-10G can combine full duplex data from one 10 Gigabit network tap into one or more streams of data. Connected 10 Gigabit monitoring devices can receive aggregated data from the tap with just one network interface card (NIC) each. Optional hardware-filtering can be applied to customize data flow to each tool and eliminate port oversubscription.
SINGLEstream™ 10 Gigabit Link Aggregation Tap with 4 - XFP Monitoring Ports
Model Number: SS-1206-10G
The SINGLEstream™ 1206-10G can combine full duplex data from one 10 Gigabit network tap into one or more streams of data. Up to four (4) connected 10 Gigabit monitoring devices can receive aggregated data from the tap with just one network interface card (NIC) each. Optional hardware-filtering can be applied to customize data flow to each tool and eliminate port oversubscription.
SINGLEstream™ Gigabit to 10 Gigabit Link Aggregation Tap (5-LX or SX Taps)
Model Number: SS-1214-10G
The SINGLEstream™ 1214-10G can combine data from up to five fiber Gigabit network segments into one or more streams of data. Connected 10 Gigabit monitoring devices can receive aggregated data from multiple network segments with just one network interface card (NIC) each. Optional hardware-filtering can be applied to customize data flow to each tool.
