CALIBRATING NETWORK ANALYZER DEVICES

Abstract:

A device receives network information from an analyzer device associated with a host device, a target device, and a link of a network, and compares the network information and historical equalizer calibration information to identify a set of equalizer calibration information. The historical equalizer calibration information is associated with multiple host devices, multiple target devices, and multiple links. The device ranks the set of equalizer calibration information, based on quality information associated with the historical equalizer calibration information, to generate a ranked set of equalizer calibration information. The device provides the ranked set of equalizer calibration information to the analyzer device to permit the analyzer device to identify selected equalizer calibration information of the ranked set of equalizer calibration information, and utilize the selected equalizer calibration information.
