Network diagnostic systems and methods for aggregated links
First Claim
1. A network diagnostic system comprising:
- a network diagnostic module configured to, in approximately real time, receive a plurality of network messages from a plurality of communication paths of an aggregated link and perform at least one network diagnostic function using the plurality of network messages, the network diagnostic module comprising;
a first logic module, the first logic module being configured to receive the plurality of network messages from the plurality of communication paths of the aggregated link;
to process the plurality of network messages into at least one message having an alternate structure;
and to send the at least one message having an alternate structure to an analysis module;
the analysis module being configured to receive messages that have the alternate structure and to perform at least one network diagnostic function using the received messages that have the alternate structure.

Abstract
A networking system is provided. The networking system may include a diagnostic module. The diagnostic module may perform any of a variety of network diagnostic functions. The diagnostic module may include an analysis module, which may receive messages and perform any of a variety of network diagnostic functions using the messages it receives. The diagnostic module may include a logic module, which may receive network messages having a first format or structure, may process the network messages it receives into network messages having a second format or structure, and may send the processed messages to the analysis module. The logic module may receive the network messages from an aggregated link.

5. A network diagnostic system comprising:
a network diagnostic module configured to, in approximately real time, receive a plurality of network messages from a plurality of communication paths of an aggregated link and perform at least one network diagnostic function using the plurality of network messages, the network diagnostic module comprising;
an analysis module, the analysis module being configured to receive one or more messages and to perform at least one network diagnostic function using the one or more messages, the analysis module being configured to support up to a first bandwidth; and
a first logic module, the first logic module being configured to receive the plurality of network messages from the plurality of communication paths of the aggregated link, the aggregated link supporting a second bandwidth that is greater than the first bandwidth, the second bandwidth being the sum of the bandwidths of the plurality of communication paths;
to process the plurality of network messages into at least one message having an alternate structure; and
to send the at least one message having an alternate structure to an analysis module via a bandwidth supported by the analysis module.- View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
