Why port mirror is better than flow monitoring?
Mirroring of traffic gives an almost instant response compared to Netflow. Netflow data is aggregated on a router/switch and then processed to Wanguard. Short pulse attacks (shorter than 30 seconds) can reach your network before Netflow and BGP Blackholing can act.
