Method and system for testing a router

摘要

The method involves collecting data packets on a node of a telecommunication network and copying the data packets. Identification data of transmitters and receivers of origin of the collected data packets are replaced by identification data of transmitters and receivers of a test environment to modify the data packets. The modified data packets are routed by a router in the test environment for testing the router. An independent claim is also included for a router testing system of an operational telecommunication network.
