Abstract
In one embodiment, data carried by a plurality of data tributaries is received. As the data is received, a stored mapping of data tributaries to one or more tributary sets is accessed, and common data tags are assigned to the data carried by ones of the data tributaries mapped to common ones of the one or more tributary sets. The data based on the common data tags is filtered; the filtered data is analyzed; and a result of the analysis is output. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims20
A network analyzer, comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive data carried by a plurality of data tributaries;
- a stored mapping of data tributaries (T1 or E1) to one or more tributary sets;
- a data tagger configured to i) access the stored mapping of data tributaries to one or more tributary sets, and ii) assign common data tags to the data carried by ones of the data tributaries mapped to common ones of the one or more tributary sets;
- a data filter configured to filter the data based on the common data tags;
- and
- a data analysis unit configured to analyze the filtered data and output a result of said analysis.

3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a network controller;
- a plurality of network base stations;
- a primary data link;
- a plurality of secondary data links;
- a data multiplexer coupled to each of the network base stations via respective ones of the secondary data links, and coupled to the network controller via the primary data link, wherein each of a plurality of data tributaries carries data over the secondary data links, between a particular one of the network base stations and the data multiplexer, and wherein multiplexed ones of the data tributaries carry data over the primary data link, between the data multiplexer and the network controller;
- and
- a network analyzer having:
- a network interface configured to receive and demultiplex the multiplexed ones of the data tributaries carried over the primary data link;
- a stored mapping of data tributaries to one or more tributary sets;
- a data tagger configured to i) access the stored mapping of data tributaries to one or more tributary sets, and ii) assign common data tags to the data carried by ones of the data tributaries mapped to common ones of the one or more tributary sets;
- a data filter configured to filter the data based on the common data tags;
- and
- a data analysis unit configured to analyze the filtered data and report a result of said analysis.
10 more elements
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving data carried by a plurality of data tributaries;
