Communications network test environment.

摘要

A system for testing one or more communication network components (102) comprising a network entity simulator (122) for emulating message communication among network entities and the one or more network components under test, and a message processor (124) for intercepting predefined messages between the network entity simulator and the network components to examine, change, or delete intercepted messages. A scheduler (128) arbitrates usage of processing among the components, and a language processor (120) provides an interface for a tester to control the simulator and message processor. <IMAGE>
