Rubens Kuhl Jr. rubens am not aware of anyone currently shipping such a monitor, (i'd pay good money to be wrong tho) although several companies are planning to add gig-e to their existing monitoring products. caida does have funding from darpa to develop a gigabit ethernet monitor, & we will make that system work w coralreef, but unfortunately i can't nail down a ship date at this time hopefully someone will point out a product i missed and i'll add it to the taxonomy k
