Are nTAPs capable of passing data from their analyzer ports back through the TAP to the network?

0

In the diagram below you will see that a copy of the data coming out the right side of the processor chip is sent to the device attached to the “Analyzer” side of the TAP. The “A” and “B” ports on the “Analyzer” side of the TAP must be capable of both transmitting and receiving data in order to negotiate a connection with the analyzer and they do this via the PHY. . There is no connection between the receive port on the PHY and the processor. Therefore the TAP has no ability to transmit data from the analyzer back to the Link side of the TAP.
