ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method and system that allow one or more network protocol emulators, composed of one or more network protocol emulation controllers and one or more network protocol emulation entities, which are overlaid onto the one or more base networks utilizing different communications protocols for the purpose of allowing said one or more networks to be accessed and utilized as if the one or more networks were utilizing protocols emulated by the one or more network protocol emulators. The method and system utilize the following steps. Apprising the one or more network protocol emulation controllers of network capability information inherent within protocols utilized by the one or more networks onto which the one or more network protocol emulation controllers are overlaid. Directing that the one or more network emulation controllers utilize the one or more network capability information of which they have been apprised to define communication capabilities for certain network protocol emulation entities within the control of the one or more network protocol emulation controllers. Directing either the one or more network protocol emulation controllers or the one or more certain network protocol emulation entities within the control of the network protocol emulation controllers to utilize such defined communications capabilities to ensure that the network protocol emulation entities do not request a communications link to one or more other network protocol emulation entities that substantially exceeds the defined communication capabilities of the one or more other network protocol emulation entities.
