Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first port configured to receive packets and a packet definition. The packets are transmitted from a network to the integrated circuit. One of (i) the packet definition is transmitted from a central processing unit of a host to the integrated circuit and (ii) the packets include the packet definition. The packet definition identifies characteristics of a packet. A forwarding engine is configured to (i) receive the packets from the first port and (ii) forward the packets to a second port. A packet generator is configured to (i) receive the packet definition and (ii) originate a test packet according to the packet definition. A medium access controller is configured to test the network by transmitting the test packet to the network.
