First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network diagnostic system comprising:
- a network diagnostic module configured to generate a capture trigger signal, the capture trigger signal being configured to trigger a bit sequence capture, the network diagnostic module comprising;
an analysis module, the analysis module being configured to receive one or more messages;
to generate statistics using the one or more messages; and
to generate, at least in part in response to the generation of the statistics, the capture trigger signal;
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 a plurality of network messages from a plurality of communication paths of an 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 the analysis module via a bandwidth supported by the analysis module.

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 analysis module may receive messages and generate a set of one or more statistics using the received messages. The analysis module may generate a signal configured to trigger a bit sequence capture.
