An approach is provided for bit error rate characterization. A test signal representing one or more Ethernet frames exhibiting a particular bit error rate is generated. The test signal is output to a device under test. Traffic is received from the device under test. A determination is made as to whether...http://www.google.com/patents/US20100095167?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20100095167 - METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING BIT ERROR RATE CHARACTERIZATION
