1. An appliance for monitoring a set of endpoint devices, operatively connected to a switch, the appliance comprising:
a processor;
a memory connected to the processor;
the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the appliance to carry out the steps of:
detecting a count of endpoint devices in the set of endpoint devices;
dynamically allocating, based on the count of endpoint devices, temporary memory for each mirroring and processing cycle to reduce switch processing burden; wherein each mirroring and processing cycle comprises:
receiving a set of mirrored data streams from the switch;
dividing the set of mirrored data streams into a set of groups; and
analyzing, in a time division multiple access (TDMA) format, each group of the set of groups individually for a predetermined condition; and,
generating an error message upon detection of the predetermined condition.
