发明名称 Detecting and isolating dropped or out-of-order packets in communication networks
摘要 A processor-implemented method for analyzing dropped or out of order data packets that are sent from an initiating device over a communications network is provided. The processor-implemented method may include receiving, by a processor, a predetermined plurality of test data packets from the initiating device over the communications network. At least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order may be determined by the processor. A header portion corresponding to the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order may then be accessed. The accessed header portion is sent, by the processor, to the initiating device, whereby the accessed header portion may include information associated with a device location at which the one or more of the predetermined plurality of test data packets are dropped or received out of order.

主权项 1. A processor-implemented method for analyzing dropped or out of order data packets that are sent from an initiating device over a communications network, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a predetermined plurality of test data packets from the initiating device over the communications network; determining, by the processor, at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order, wherein the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets are dropped based on determining header information that is corrupt, and wherein the header information is determined to be corrupt based on determining at least one of missing header information, invalid header information, and unreadable header information; accessing, by the processor, a header portion corresponding to the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order, wherein the accessed header portion comprises information associated with a network communication device at which the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order, wherein the network communication device comprises a switch device and a network adapter device, wherein the information associated with the network communication device comprises switch port information corresponding to the switch device and network adaptor information corresponding to the network adaptor device; writing, by the processor, the header information of the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order into a table or log on the network communications device; and sending, by the processor, the accessed header portion to the initiating device, wherein the accessed header portion includes information associated with a device location at which the one or more of the predetermined plurality of test data packets are dropped or received out of order.
