1. A method for selecting a command packet and a corresponding response packet from a communication stream of packets sent between different nodes on a network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) monitoring the communication stream;

    (b) dynamically recognizing a first node command packet sent from a first node to a second node while monitoring the communication stream;

    (c) dynamically determining whether a packet sent from the second node to the first node is a response packet sent in response to the command packet; and

    (d) if the packet sent from the second node to the first node is the response packet sent in response to the command packet, preserving the command packet and the response packet.
