You'd be able to sniff all packets on the seqment. Whereas with a switch you'd only get the packets for that port or the broacast messages. I think that's what he meant.


I can sniff all the packets on the segment, but that doesn't help me. I can see the packets on the LAN leaving the server, but have no way of seeing (using the packet sniffer) which router they then go through. I can't sniff the other side of the routers.
