  • Generation of informative MAC headers for analysis of ATM routed LAN frames
    Patent number: 6560228
    Abstract: The inventive interface mechanism generates an imitation MAC header and places the header before the data portion of the frame. The imitation header is formed from useful information which will enhance the troubleshooting process of analyzer software. The information would allow for upper layer protocol problems to be mapped down to lower layer ATM problems. The ATM destination address is encoded into the destination address of the imitation header. The port address upon which the data frame is captured is used as the source address of the imitation header. The inventive interface will allow the use of existing software which requires MAC headers to perform protocol analysis of routed ATM frames.
