Looks like Ciscowiki is in process of explaining this a little better then we have in the past. As of this posting, it only has a diagram, nothing to explain what happens.

My work is sending me to some Sniffer Infinistream training. The last sniffer class I got a lot out of, I am no longer wasting anyones time with telling them I think this is a problem, can you look at it too!! For those of you that do not know the Sniffer Infinistream is like a Tivo for network sniffers, Streaming raw data right off the monitored line to a disk array. You can go back in time to when the issue occured and take a look to see what the issue is (Hopefully). I have been using it for about a year, and with little or no training, I am fairly handy, however I never refuse training as I may pick up that one little thing that puts something together for me.
