Abstract
A network diagnostic component that is placed in-line between two nodes in a network to reorder or compact a data frame to allow the network diagnostic component to interpret the data frame. The network diagnostic component receives a network data frame from the first node for communication with the second node. The network data frame may include a plurality of data units interspersed with one or more non-data units that interrupt the proximity and flow of the data units. The network diagnostic component then reorders the data frame by removing or moving at least some of the non-data units that are interspersed with the plurality of data units. The reordered network data frame may then be interpreted by other components of the network diagnostic component.
