ABSTRACT:
An improved multiple port protocol test apparatus and a method thereof by which it is possible to more easily perform a test with respect to the multiple port protocol, and increase an adaptability and interrelationship with respect to the standard of the system. The apparatus includes a test management unit for testing and controlling a protocol and performing management related thereto, a multiple port protocol testing unit connected to the test management unit for generating and controlling a test event with respect to the multiple port of a network system, a plurality of lower protocol processing unit connected to the multiple port protocol testing unit for performing an emulation function with respect to a lower protocol of the test objective protocol, and transferring a test-related event, a timer processing unit connected to the multiple port protocol testing unit for processing a timer information, a message distribution unit connected to the lower protocol processing unit for transferring a test event to a corresponding port of the test objective system, and transferring the received event to the lower protocol processing unit of a corresponding port, and a test objective system access unit connected to the message distribution unit for a physical connection with a test objective system.
