An apparatus and method for analyzing bidirectional data exchanged between two electronic devices is disclosed. In one embodiment, received and transmitted data at a first physical layer interface (PHY) is tapped by a second PHY in a first electronic device substantially before the received data is processed in the first electronic device and substantially before the transmitted data is processed by a second electronic device. Further, the tapped received and transmitted data is output to an analyzer for analyzing the received and transmitted data by the second PHY in the first electronic device.
