How do different switches handle high load. I think some of them throttle
the entire monitored VLAN to the speed of the span port and I think some
just drop packets going to the span port. Anybody know which switches
handle it which way.....or some other way.

For Catalyst 6K

Usage: set span disable [dest_mod/dest_port|all]
       set span <src_mod/src_ports...|src_vlans...|sc0>
                <dest_mod/dest_port> [rx|tx|both]
                [inpkts <enable|disable>]
                [learning <enable|disable>]
                [multicast <enable|disable>]
                [filter <vlans...>]
                [create]
       (example of src_mod/src_ports: 2/1-4 or 2/1-2 or 2/5,2/6
        example of src_vlans: 2-10,105
