Abstract

A network analysis instrument employs a CPU, display and field programmable gate array circuitry to receive network data and detect various error conditions. Percent utilization is determined and information pertaining thereto is displayed to provide a user with information regarding network operating conditions. Ghosts are detected as well as collisions, jabber conditions and runt conditions.
