Abstract

An Event Driven Interface (EDI) is disclosed for use as a subsystem of a monitoring and control system for a data communications network. The network communicates a serial stream of binary bits having a characteristic pattern. The system includes a control vector generator for generating a control vector C(i) which describes the characteristic pattern and an event vector analyzer for analyzing an event vector E(i) which represents a plurality of occurrences of the pattern on the network.
