A network sniffer. It can be hardware based (dedicated device with it's own software) or software based (application running on a PC). An internet gateway can collect information to bust the user by tracing back the computer name, IP address and who is logged in. A sniffer is used mostly to collect information to help diagnose errors suspectred coming from the lan/wan.
