Abstract
A method of identifying a source of ingress into a network includes storing frequency spectra of known sources of ingress, comparing the frequency spectrum of ingress to the frequency spectra of known sources of ingress, and determining from the comparison which of the frequency spectra of known sources of ingress is closest to the frequency spectrum of the ingress. Apparatus for identifying a source of ingress into a network includes memory for storing frequency spectra of known sources of ingress and a device for comparing the frequency spectrum of the ingress to frequency spectra of known sources of ingress and determining from the comparison which frequency spectrum of a known source of ingress is closest to the frequency spectrum of the ingress. A method of establishing ingress into a network includes developing a first frequency spectrum indicative of the condition of the network at a first time during the operation of the network, developing a second frequency spectrum indicative of the condition of the network at a second, later time, comparing the second frequency spectrum to the first frequency spectrum, and determining from the comparison a condition of the network at the second time. Apparatus for establishing ingress into a network includes a device for receiving frequency spectra. The device receives at least one first frequency spectrum indicative of the condition of the network at a first time during the operation of the network, and a second frequency spectrum indicative of the condition of the network at a second, later time. The device compares the second frequency spectrum to the first frequency spectrum and determines from the comparison the condition of the network at the second time.
