[Pauldotcom] WRT54G Mirror Port

[Tim Krabec]

the different types of taps allow different solutions.
Low bandwidth/ "trusted" network use the 3 port one
higher bandwidth/"un-trusted" network use the 4 port one, which can split
tx/rx traffic across machines/nics.

Alternatively you could build a 3 Port and make a tx/rx split cable

So ultimately it depends on what you need and what you have available.
