Abstract

A method for testing a network device having modules for receiving and sending data packets in a network includes generating in the network device at least one internal data structure associated with a data packet received by the network device from the network. A predefined action on the network device is then preformed responsive to the internal data structure indicating that the data packet satisfies a predefined condition.
