Abstract :
This flow-monitoring circuit delivers an ordered byte stream to a client application for every TCP/IP connection it processes. Using an active flow-processing algorithm, TCP Splitter is a lightweight, efficient design that supports the monitoring of an almost unlimited number of flows at multigigabit line rates.
