Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for correlating request packets and reply packets during network analysis. Initially, first information is monitored associated with at least one layer of a request packet that resides above a data link control layer thereof. Further monitored is second information associated with at least one layer of a reply packet that resides above the data link control layer thereof. The request packet and the reply packet are then correlated utilizing the first information and the second information. A network is then analyzed based on the correlated request packet and reply packet.
