Abstract:
1. A method of monitoring traffic packets passing through a first access point, comprising: at a mediator, receiving a request for providing to a remote device portions of the traffic packets passing through the first access point captured at the first access point; registering the mediator so as to receive the portions of the traffic packets captured at the first access point; at the mediator, receive a request for providing to a remote device the portions of the traffic packets passing through the first access point captured at the first access point; register so as to receive the portions of the traffic packets captured at the first access point; receiving encapsulated packets from a network, extracting timestamps from the encapsulated packets, decapsulating the encapsulated packets so as to obtain the portions of the traffic packets captured at the first access point, and forming replay packets, wherein the replay packets include the portions of the traffic packets; and transmitting the replay packets from the mediator to the remote device, wherein the replay packets are separated by time intervals so as to imitate the traffic packets passing through the first access point, and wherein the time intervals are reproduced using the timestamps, wherein the reproduction of the time intervals comprises sequencing the replay packets based on sequence numbers of the encapsulated packets.
