Abstract:
1. A method for controlling high-speed network traffic, the method comprising: identifying a port under test through which transmission of code having a plurality of code states of interest, which indicates that a data failure occurs, and through which transmission of non-data words occurs; identifying a debug port to which code associated with the plurality of the code states of interest is routed to analyze; identifying the code associated with the plurality of the code states of interest, from the port under test; routing the code associated with the plurality of the code states of interest to the debug port; generating a modified non-data word in response to an identification of a code state of interest from the port under test; and receiving the modified non-data word in conjunction with the code state of interest at the debug port, wherein the modified non-data word tags the code associated with the code states of interest to control analysis of the code at the debug port.
