Abstract
A method of testing data packets uses a program of selected microcode instructions of which at least one prescribes a comparison between a series of data patterns and a series of test patterns. Data patterns and test patterns are stored in dynamic random access memory. A first group of one of said series of patterns is read out and stored in temporary storage locations. A first group of the other of said series of patterns is read out and stored in temporary storage locations. Each of the patterns in the first group of the other series of patterns is compared, as it is stored, with a respective one of the stored patterns of the first series. The invention renders the testing of data packets more efficient.
