RSPAN has nothing to do with controlling traffic, it is a tool to troubleshoot network problems by capturing all the frames within a given context. For monitoring network trends, there are other tools like NetFlow (IPFIX). For controlling traffic, you need something like a firewall, but you will need to put a layer-2 firewall in the direct path of all the traffic on a layer-2 network. That is particularly difficult on a switched network where frames are delivered directly from the source host to the destination host. | |

It may have memory limitations for continuous monitoring. I think except firewall, it is impossible to control or monitor traffic in high production environment. | |
