Never try to aggregate multiple TAPs with a hub. You will just create a bucket load of collisions and end up with a useless data feed presented to your monitoring tool. If you want to aggregate multiple TAP feeds into a smaller number of devices(s), most of the TAP vendors make some form of link aggregation device. Or, depending on the OS and sniffer you use, you may be able to bond the interfaces on the capture device. -Leon
