Abstract
A method of running a target device in a hardware-in-the-loop network simulation via a host computer may include launching a network application on a host computer each having a protocol stack and a network device connected to a simulated network of target devices, interposing, on the host computer, a target device interface and adaptor between the protocol stack and the network device and transferring data and control information between the network application and the target device via the network device, whereby the target device runs on the host computer as if the target device were running directly on a host computer having a network device directly compatible with the target device.
