Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for identifying links in a system under evaluation includes assigning unique identifiers to drivers of the system, emitting the identifiers from the drivers on associated links, collecting data received by receivers of the system, and comparing the driver identifiers with the data received by the receivers to determine which drivers are linked to which receivers.
Claims29
A method for identifying links in a system under evaluation, the method comprising:
- assigning unique identifiers to drivers of at least one device of the system;
- emitting the identifiers from the drivers on associated links;
- collecting data received by receivers of at least one device of the system;
- and
- comparing the driver identifiers with the data received by the receivers to determine which drivers are linked to which receivers.
A link identification system, the system comprising:
- means for assigning unique identifiers to drivers of a system under evaluation;
- means for controlling the drivers to emit the identifiers on associated links;
- means for collecting data received by receivers of the system under evaluation;
- and
- means for comparing the driver identifiers with the data received by the receivers.
A link identification system stored on a computer-readable medium, the system comprising:
- logic configured to provide unique identifiers to drivers of a system under evaluation;
- logic configured to control the drivers to drive the unique identifiers on to associated links;
- logic configured to collect data received by receivers of the system under evaluation;
- and
- logic configured to compare the driver identifiers with the data received by the receivers.
A computer system, comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- memory that includes a link identification system, the link identification system being configured to assigning unique identifiers to drivers of the system under evaluation, to control the drivers to drive the identifiers out on associated links, to collect data received by receivers of the system under evaluation, and to compare the driver identifiers with the data received by the receivers to determine which drivers are linked to which receivers.
