  • Page 8 TAP/Loopback Mode TAP Mode Loopback Mode In TAP mode, NuDOG-301C can monitor any data that flows through it. Network TAP is a method of monitoring network’s situation dynamically without interference. NuDOG-301C can tap bi-directional or uni-directional traffic from different sides (port A and port B) and also provides abundant packet counters. In Loopback mode, NuDOG-301C resends the incoming streams back to the source.
