Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a packet receiver for testing a network. SOLUTION: A packet may be received from a network at a port unit. The port unit may ignore a received packet if the received packet does not contain a valid test signature. When the received packet contains a valid test signature, the port unit may determine whether the port unit is an expected destination for the received packet. When the port unit is not the expected destination for the received packet, a misdirected packet counter may be incremented. When the port unit is the expected destination for the received packet, test data may be extracted from the received packet. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
