Methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitoring and/or testing network communications are disclosed. A method for monitoring network communications includes receiving packets from a network connected device, determining features associated with either the network connected device or a communications network to which the network connected device is connected by actively or passively monitoring or testing the packets, and automatically switching between passively monitoring or testing the packets and actively monitoring or testing the packets in response to receiving a packet carrying instructions.
