Abstract
A method for performing time domain reflectometry contemporaneously with recurrent transmissions, such as idle transmissions, on a computer network, such as a 100 BASE T protocol network is disclosed. This method comprises detecting the recurrent transmissions and then storing representations of those transmissions. A probe signal, such as a TDR signal, is then generated onto the computer network during the recurrent transmissions. A response of the network to the probe signal combined with the recurrent transmissions is then detected. The signal transmission characteristics of the network are then analyzable based on the response to the probe signal using the stored representations of the recurrent transmissions, using deconvolution, for example.
