Abstract

A communication device which is configured to receive a data flow includes a monitor port and a packet processor. The monitor port is configured to receive a packet of the data flow. The packet processor is coupled to the monitor port, and the packet processor is configured to compute a digest value of the packet and compute an identification code of the packet according to the digest value of the packet, and the packet processor searches a status value associated with the identification code in a lookup table so as to determine whether a dropping event of the data flow is recorded.
