  • Method and apparatus for testing a network
    Patent number: 7698408
    Abstract: Accordingly, one embodiment of the invention provides a method for testing a network comprising multiple nodes. The network conforms to a formal specification. The method includes defining a blueprint comprising a set of one or more possible topological configurations for connecting a node to the network. The one or more possible topological configurations represent a subset of the topological configurations permitted by the formal specification. When connectivity is initiated between a node and the network, it is confirmed that the connectivity for the node conforms to the blueprint.
