Azure Virtual Network TAP enables you to continuously mirror traffic from a [virtual network](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-overview) to a packet collector. The mirrored traffic is a deep copy of the inbound and outbound virtual machine network traffic and can be streamed to a destination IP endpoint or an [internal load balancer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-overview) in the same virtual network or [peered](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-network-peering-overview) virtual network. The packet collector or aggregator is a [network virtual appliance](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/network-appliances/) solution that you can deploy from a growing list of security, network and application performance management partners who offer a solution that works with Virtual Network TAP.
