Abstract

A device includes a programmable passive measurement hardware engine, a programmable active measurement hardware engine, and a configuration engine. The programmable passive measurement hardware engine is configured to collect statistical data, from data transmission at a network line rate, used for network measurement. The programmable active measurement hardware engine is configured to generate probe packets and wherein the programmable active measurement hardware engine is further configured to collect responses to the generated probe packets, wherein the collected responses are used for the network measurement. The configuration engine is configured to receive data settings and wherein the configuration engine is further configured to program the programmable passive measurement hardware engine and the programmable active measurement hardware engine with the received data settings.
