Post by thread:[PICLIST] [EE] Network "level" use analyzer

Hello, Anyone heard about a "network performance tester" or something like that, using a PIC ? In fact, I would like to build something like that, but I can not find information. What I would like to build is a "Tester" that would tell me, for example, the protocol in use, the number of wrong packets, etc, etc. If you know anything, please, email me. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

A 64 bit pic? 8 MB ram? --------------8<-------Corte aqui-------8<-------------- All the best!!!

Something I have been working on - in fitful bits and pieces - are simple I2C and RS-232 real-time analyzers using a 20 Mhz PIC, but the PIC is just barely able to keep up. I hold fairly small hope for doing anything more complicated than this. - dan michaels -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
