Abstract
A diagnostic device, such as a network probe or a blade, with wired and/or wireless communication capabilities. In one example embodiment, a network probe includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and a buffer in communication with the processor. In this example embodiment, the processor is programmed to identify a triggering event in data received by the network probe and store, in the buffer, data that is associated with the triggering event.
Claims16
A network probe comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in communication with the processor;
- and
- a buffer in communication with the processor,
- wherein the processor is programmed to:
- identify a triggering event in data received by the network probe;
- and
- store in the buffer data that is associated with the triggering event.
A network probe comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in communication with the processor;
- a buffer in communication with the processor;
- and
- a connector in communication with the processor and configured to couple with a physical transmission medium,
- wherein the processor is programmed to:
- identify a triggering event in data received by the network probe;
- store, in the buffer, packet headers of data that is associated with the triggering event;
- and
- transmit the packet headers.
