Flexible Inline Arrangement vs Inline Bypass Solution

A brief difference between Flexible and Classic Inline Arrangements.

Flexible Inline Arrangement	Inline Bypass Solution ( Classic)
Flexible inline arrangements offer flexibility in how traffic is guided through inline tools.	Inline bypass solutions involve bidirectional traffic between two networks, intercepted by a Gigamon node, and guided through one or more inline tools.
Guides traffic through any arbitrary sequence of inspection tools.	The Gigamon node sends uninspected traffic from one side of the network to an inline tool (such as an IPS), and then sends the inspected traffic to the other side of the network.
Shares inline tools across multiple inline network links and across multiple inline maps.	A sequence of inline tools / inline tool groups used for inspecting traffic on a given inline network / inline network group cannot be reused for inspecting traffic on another inline network / inline network group.
Distributes traffic across multiple tools to meet bandwidth and throughput demands.	The decrypted traffic needs to be received atall the attached inline tools and cannot provide flexibility to guide the traffic to individual tools.
