Abstract
A network switch detects at least two simultaneous connections on a single network port. The simultaneous connections use different protocols despite using the same port. The network switch mirrors network traffic associated with the simultaneous connections to a security management device on the network. The security management device then determines a source or destination of the network traffic.
