SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING ENCODED SIGNALS IN A NETWORK

摘要

Various aspects provide for non-intrusively monitoring a network system. A multiplexing component is configured to receive a plurality of first encoded signals and generate a plurality of second encoded signals. The plurality of second encoded signals contain a different data rate and a different number of network lanes than the plurality of first encoded signals. A monitoring component is configured to identify a block location for repeating blocks and an alignment marker in each of the plurality of first encoded signals and/or the plurality of second encoded signals. The monitoring component can also be configured to identify one or more defects, identify error information and/or determine one or more skew values associated with the plurality of first encoded signals and/or the plurality of second encoded signals.

1. A system, comprising:
a multiplexing component configured for receiving a plurality of first encoded signals and generating a plurality of second encoded signals, wherein the plurality of second encoded signals comprise a different data rate and a different number of network lanes than the plurality of first encoded signals; and a monitoring component configured for identifying a block location for repeating blocks and an alignment marker in each of the plurality of second encoded signals.
