Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network utilizing a host controller/zone controller interface. Initially, network traffic information is collected utilizing a host controller. Then, a predetermined interval setting is tracked, and the system polls for the receipt of a demand over the network. In response to the demand or the cessation of the predetermined interval setting, the network traffic information is transmitted to a zone controller over the network.
