Abstract
An apparatus for and method of testing the components of a communication system that uses an ARQ protocol is provided. A processor (117) within the communication system is designated to emulate the ARQ protocol so that the normal paths of communication through the system are tested by creating a path (405) that isolates components (103 and 105) from the remainder of the system and tests the remaining components (107 and 109) using the ARQ-emulating processor (117). The processor (117) is also used to emulate a second protocol.
