ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for monitoring communications in a asynchronous transfer mode network are described. In an embodiment of the present invention, an analyst or automated system creates a command to instruct a network element to mirror a port to another network element in communication with the asynchronous transfer mode network. In one embodiment, the analyst troubleshoots a communication link between two network elements by creating two port mirror commands, transmitting the commands to the network elements, and then monitoring subsequent communications between the elements. Various analytical tools may be available to the analyst to receive data and to help diagnose problems and potential problems within the asynchronous transfer mode network.
