  • Hi SSHSSH,

     

     

    If you are mirroring layer 7 connections then the full payload must be sent to the peer and you'd probably want to use a 10G interface. If not, a 1Gb port should be fine.

     

     

    That said, there is generally very limited value in L7 mirroring as most protocols can handle a connection drop.
