Sorry for my misunderstanding in the previous mails. Our funnels are 
programmable just like the common dynamic funnels.

In our solution, we just make funnels have multiple output ports 
connected to different devices or ports. When we use it, we still

enable the input port through programming. Our solution is to know which 
input port the expected data comes from based on the

source label corresponding to the output port. This way we can build the 
expected trace path. In other respects, it is used the same

as common dynamic funnels.


Best,

Tao
