Abstract:
A packet of data and a packet-identification value are transmitted to a network device having an identifier. The stored packet-identification value and the identifier are recorded. The stored packet-identification value is then increased and the process repeats. To receive data, an expected identification value is stored in association with the identifier. A packet and a packet-identification value are received from the network device. The identifier and an indication of receipt are stored. If the received value does not match the expected value for the identifier, the received value is stored. If the values match, the stored packet-identification value and identifier are recorded. If the received value exceeds the expected value, the stored packet-identification value, the identifier and the received identifier are recorded. Subsequently, the stored expected value is increased. The process repeats. Network devices and systems are described.

Claim (Index 13):
A network device having a network address and configured to participate in a network including one or more remote network device(s) having respective network addresses, the network device comprising:\n a network interface configured to selectively communicate data packet(s) with the remote network device(s); first, second, and third storage elements; and a processor adapted to:\n record in the first storage element a respective identifier for each of the remote network device(s) with which the network interface communicates at least one data packet, wherein each respective identifier occupies fewer bits than the network address of the respective one of the remote network device(s); \n record in the second storage element respective, independent running transmit and receive sequence numbers for each of the remote network device(s) with which the network interface communicates a data packet in association with the respective identifier(s) thereof; and \n record in the third storage element record(s) of transmitted data packet(s) and records(s) of received data packet(s), each of the record(s) stored in association with the identifier of the corresponding remote network device, and each record of a received data packet including a packet-identification value of the received data packet if the packet-identification value does not match the corresponding running receive sequence number at the time of receipt.
