Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide communication testing for wireless or wired packet data communication devices, systems, and networks. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a test system containing a multilevel scheduler is disclosed that includes cascaded schedulers, a software interface, and specific media protocol feedback to accurately emulate multiple clients on a network, with possibly numerous traffic flows per client. Such a test system may offer capabilities such as a more accurate emulation of client contention and collisions, a more accurate emulation of bandwidth sharing between clients, and a more accurate emulation of traffic flow multiplexing between flows.
