Abstract

A system tests the protocols for a network containing a group of network devices. The system includes a simulation controller (110) that transmits network configuration information during the protocol testing and one or more nodes (135-1 to 135-N) that emulate a network device, receive the network configuration information from the simulation controller (110), and perform one or more operations in response thereto. The system also includes an analysis device (140) that monitors and analyzes the nodes (135-1 to 135-N) during the protocol testing.
