Abstract
A sniffer device determines whether an abnormal condition is present in a network communication. In response to determining that the abnormal condition is present, the sniffer device collects network-level packets into a data structure. The data structure containing the collected network-level packets can be analyzed for determining whether the abnormal condition caused an issue with a communicating entity.
