Claim:
A system for analyzing the transfer of data across communication channels utilizing different protocols comprising: a data processor; and a plurality of communication channel interfaces coupled to the data processor; wherein the data processor is configured to receive data formatted according to a first protocol via a first one of the interfaces, to identify the data formatted according to the first protocol, to receive data formatted according to a second protocol via a second one of the interfaces, to identify the data formatted according to the second protocol to verify that the data formatted according to the second protocol corresponds to the data formatted according to the first protocol, and to verify that the data formatted according to the second protocol corresponds to the data formatted according to the first protocol by comparing a data payload of the data formatted according to the second protocol and a data payload of the data formatted according to the first protocol to determine whether the data payload of the data formatted according to the second protocol is identical to the data payload of the data formatted according to the first protocol.
