ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a bit error rate tester that may operate on network paths having devices that add or drop idles within a transmitted bit sequence. In particular, the bit sequence determines whether a received bit sequence is synchronized. If the received sequence is not synchronized or if a certain event/threshold is reached, then the bit error rate tester re-synchronizes the sequence prior to analysis. Also, the bit error rate detector is able to operate on high-speed networks and provide bit granularity measurements.
