1 This is an approximate value. Actual value will depend on the SFPs used.
2 Due to the nature of SFP modules requiring power for operation, ProfiShark 10G/10G+ doesn't include a bypass feature for fail-safe monitoring. An external TAP can be employed in order to implement fail-safe monitoring.
3 These relate to the capture interface. Captured traffic analysis performance will depend on the type of traffic, and the type of analysis performed.
