System and method for triggering communications data capture

Abstract: A system and method of triggering data capture in a high-speed communications network is disclosed. The triggering system enables the capture of desired data from the network according to triggers related to high-level statistical and transactional elements of the data. The triggering system includes a statistics engine that analyzes network data at the line speed of the high-speed network, thereby enabling the present system to trigger on data transmitted via networks with line speeds exceeding 1 Gbit per second. The present system preferably comprises a portion of a protocol analyzer or similar device in order to detect and diagnose problem conditions existing in or relating to the network data.
