Abstract
A data processing method of testing a network of data processing units includes steps of sending a test message from an originating data processing unit to a destination data processing unit via an intermediate data processing unit; receiving at the originating data processing unit a channel definition from the intermediate data processing unit, the channel definition defining an action taken at the intermediate data processing unit to determine a next intermediate data processing unit to forward on the test message to; and displaying the channel definition at the originating data processing unit.
Claims3
A data processing method of testing a network of data processing units comprising steps of:
- sending a test message from an originating data processing unit to a destination data processing unit via an intermediate data processing unit;
- receiving at the originating data processing unit a channel definition from the intermediate data processing unit, the channel definition defining an action taken at the intermediate data processing unit to determine a next intermediate data processing unit to forward on the test message to;
- and
- displaying the channel definition at the originating data processing unit.
A data processing apparatus for testing a network of data processing units comprising:
- means for sending a test message from an originating data processing unit to a destination data processing unit via an intermediate data processing unit;
- means for receiving at the originating data processing unit a channel definition from the intermediate data processing unit, the channel definition defining an action taken at the intermediate data processing unit to determine a next intermediate data processing unit to forward on the test message to;
- and
- means for displaying the channel definition at the originating data processing unit.
A computer program product stored on a computer readable storage medium for, when executed on a computer, carrying out a data processing method of testing a network of data processing units comprising steps of:
- sending a test message from an originating data processing unit to a destination data processing unit via an intermediate data processing unit;
- receiving at the originating data processing unit a channel definition from the intermediate data processing unit, the channel definition defining an action taken at the intermediate data processing unit to determine a next intermediate data processing unit to forward on the test message to;
- and
- displaying the channel definition at the originating data processing unit.
