Abstract
A system and method is provided for in situ testing of communications links employing digitally wrapped communications. Portions of the payload to be wrapped are replaced with test patterns. These test patterns can be sent simultaneously with real information. The invention provides that the receiving node generate a test pattern, extract the transmitted test pattern, and determine errors in response to comparing the two test patterns. Analysis of the errors can be used to determine the state of the link between the transmitting and receiving nodes.
