Device to capture data for embedded system

0

I am developing a embedded ethernet system, wireshark is installed in my PC.

My ethernet system is required to connect to Internet, can someone inform me which particular hub/router can I use to capture my ethernet system traffic.

Regards Sam

Perhaps have a look at the Wireshark wiki page on Ethernet capture setup first, as it may help you decide which type of device you're really interested in.

Also, if you're on LinkedIn, Christian H. Carrasco started a discussion there entitled, "I am looking for a cheap switch (under $100) that allows port mirroring or monitoring. Suggestions are very welcome." The responses offer some possible devices that may suit you.

As you can see, there is no one particular device, so in the end you will simply have to do some research and then decide for yourself which device you like that meets your needs and is within your budget.
