Abstract
Traffic differentiator systems for network devices and related methods are disclosed that include automatic port order determination. The disclosed embodiments includes input ports that receive a first stream of packets and a second stream of packets and a packet difference processor that operates in a learning mode and a normal mode. In the learning mode of operation, the packet difference processor automatically determines a port order representing whether the first stream of packets for the first port or the second stream of packets for the second port represents a first in time version of received packets. In the normal mode of operation, the packet difference processor uses the port order determination to facilitate determination of difference packets between the first stream of packets and the second stream of packets.
