Abstract
A system for testing a segment of a data-packet-network has a first probe connected substantially at one end of the segment; a second probe connected substantially at the opposite end of the segment from the location of the first probe; and a process application distributed to each probe. The first and second probes collect data from and time stamp data packets as they pass forming first and second records of the individual packets whereupon the second-formed records of each packet are compared with the first records of each packet for record matching, time-stamp comparison and test result processing.
