Abstract: A system for consolidating network streams includes a consolidator in communication with each of a plurality of network streams. Each network stream is associated with a communication path through a network. The consolidator is configured to prevent the plurality of network streams from being networked together, and configured to create at least one virtual local area network (VLAN) within the consolidator. The consolidator is configured to pass information on an ingress port of the consolidator associated with the at least one VLAN to egress ports of the consolidator associated with the at least one VLAN. The system includes a network analyzer in communication with the consolidator. The consolidator is configured to consolidate the plurality of network streams into a single network stream for application to the network analyzer to determine characteristics of each of the plurality of network streams.
