METHOD AND ANALYSIS OF SYNCHRONIZED DATA TRAFFIC OF A PACKET AND ADDRESS-ORIENTED DATA NETWORK AND CONFIGURATION OF SUCH A DATA NETWORK FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE METHOD
First Claim
1. Method for analysis of a synchronized data traffic of a packet- and address-oriented data network with a plurality of data-generating and/or data-receiving network participants, respectively with individual network addresses or other individual identification features, wherein the data network synchronizes received data packets and known transmission and processing times using receipt points in time, and the data transmissions ensue synchronized with the data traffic,in mirror memory in at least one network participant, recording data packets that said at least one network participant has sent via the data network in parallel with the data transmission and/or data packets that said at least one network participant has received in parallel with the internal data processing;
- upon an occurrence of a trigger event in at least one of the active network participants, in each of the network participants equipped with a mirror memory, freezing mirror memory so that each mirror memory contains data of the same time segment for respective different points of the data network; and
providing all data frozen in the mirror memories via the data network for evaluation while the synchronized data traffic remains unaffected.

Abstract
In a method and network for the analysis of synchronized data traffic, at least one network participant stores sent and/or received data packets in a mirror memory, and the data in the respective mirror memories are frozen and made available for evaluation via the entire data network, upon the occurrence of a trigger event in at least one of the active network participants, while maintaining the synchronized data traffic.

14. Network for data and signal transmission, comprising:
-
multiple network participants connected among one another that respectively have different network addresses or another individual identification feature; every network participant comprising transmission and reception modules in which data packets to be sent via the data network are generated and received data packets are processed; the transmission and reception modules comprising synchronization modules that mutually synchronize the network participants using reception points in time of received cells and known transmission and processing times, and the transmission modules are configured to transfer the data packets synchronously in the data network at least one network participant comprising at least one mirror memory connected in parallel with a data input and/or output thereof, wherein at least a portion of the data packets going out and coming in via the data network is recorded in the mirror memory in parallel with additional processing; a trigger unit that detects a trigger event and that, upon detection of the trigger event, freezes mirror memory and, depending on the configuration, freezes mirror memories of all other participants located on the network to cause the mirror memories to all contain data of the same time segment for respective different points of the data network; and a transfer unit that transfers the data frozen in the mirror memories via the network while leaving the synchronized data traffic unaffected. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

23. A tomographic system comprising:
-
a plurality of tomographic components configured to operate in combination with each other as a tomography apparatus; a network for data and signal transmission among said plurality of tomographic components, each of said tomographic components having a network address in said network or another individual identification feature; every tomographic component comprising transmission and reception modules in which data packets to be sent via the data network are generated and received data packets are processed; the transmission and reception modules comprising synchronization modules that mutually synchronize the tomographic components using reception points in time of received cells and known transmission and processing times, and the transmission modules are configured to transfer the data packets synchronously in the data network; at least one tomographic component comprising at least one mirror memory connected in parallel with a data input and/or output thereof, wherein at least a portion of the data packets going out and coming in via the data network is recorded in the mirror memory in parallel with additional processing; a trigger unit that detects a trigger event and that, upon detection of the trigger event, freezes mirror memory and, depending on the configuration, freezes the mirror memories of all other participants located on the network to cause the mirror memories to all contain data of the same time segment for respective different points of the data network; and a transfer unit that transfers the data frozen in the mirror memories via the network while leaving the synchronized data traffic unaffected.
