Abstract
A method, apparatus, and machine readable storage medium is disclosed for establishing a test protocol processor which intercepts success path protocol messages at a network element port buffer and substitutes a failure path message to simulate the introduction of unexpected protocol messages into the protocol message flow from an external source to the network element under test. The disclosed self disrupting network element is particularly useful for providing a means to perform in situ field testing of a network element.
