A network monitor includes means for monitoring downstream traffic from a cable modem termination system (CMTS) to a cable modem (CM), means for monitoring upstream traffic from the CM to the CMTS, and means for identifying a data format used by the CMTS and the CM for bi-directional communication.

System and method for monitoring upstream and downstream transmissions in cable modern system

A data synchronizer is provided for synchronizing data across two different clock domains in a manner that avoids additive jitter. The data synchronizer includes a synchronizer inputting a sampling clock and a data clock, and outputting an edge pulse. A synchronizer jitter lockout circuit inputs the edge pulse and the sampling clock and outputs a data sampling enable signal which never coincides with a data transition.

Apparatus for synchronizing clock and data between two domains having unknown but coherent phase
