Abstract
A system and method for testing packet switch networks is provided. The method comprises establishing a first network path associated with a first device and a local device. The first network path includes at least a first router, a second router, and a data link layer switch. A first route and a second route along the first network path are established. The method further includes preventing any packets received from the first device via the first route from reaching the local device, allowing packets received via the second route to reach the local device, and directing packets sent by the local device to a test set using the second static route.
