Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring network devices and identifying packet anomalies are described herein. Anomalies may be identified by receiving packets from a network device at a network monitor, each packet having a first time stamp added by the network device, adding a second time stamp to the packets by the network monitor, comparing the first time stamp and the second time stamp of each packet, and identifying an anomaly associated with a packet in response to a difference metric generated based on the first and second time stamps exceeding a threshold. 1. A network monitor for monitoring a network device coupled to a network , the network device receiving packets and adding a first time stamp to the packets , the network monitor comprising:a connection port configured to receive at least one packet from the network device;a presentation device; anda processor coupled to the connection port and the presentation device, the processor configured to add a second time stamp to the at least one packet, compare the first time stamp and the second time stamp of each of the at least one packet, and identify an anomaly associated with the at least one packet in response to a difference metric generated based on the first and second time stamps of a set of one or more packets exceeding a threshold.2. The network monitor of claim 1 , further comprising:a user interface coupled to the processor;the user interface configured to receive a threshold instruction from a user for setting the threshold; andthe processor further configured to set the threshold responsive to the threshold instruction.3. The network monitor of claim 1 , wherein the set includes two or more packets and wherein the processor is configured to identify the anomaly when the average difference between the first and second time stamps of the two or more packets exceeds the threshold.4. The network monitor of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is between 10 milliseconds and 90 milliseconds.5. The ...
