Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for misdirected packet drill down and negative packet capture at a network test device are disclosed. One exemplary method includes, at a network test device, receiving and storing, in the network test device, expected receive port information regarding a plurality of test packets. The method further includes transmitting the test packets to a device under test. The method further includes receiving at least some of the test packets from the device under test. The method further includes using the expected receive port information and the received test packets to identify misdirected test packets. The method further includes, for each of the packets identified as misdirected, determining a port of the network test device at which the packet should have been received and outputting an indication of the port of the network test device at which the packet should have been received.
