Abstract

A data processing equipment having an input to receive an input stream of data frames. The data frames contain a repeating trace message, each instance of the trace message being divided in fragments distributed over a series of data frames. The data processing equipment further includes a trace message processor receiving the repeating trace message in the input stream. The trace message processor performs a first action when the input stream carries less than N consecutive anomalous instances of the trace message and a second action different from the first action when the input stream carries N or more consecutive anomalous instances of the trace message.
