  • first logic that is independent of a processor, that is configured to monitor and control the processor, and that receives test input signals and generates a test output signal;

    a network interface that is operable to receive network packets;

    second logic communicatively coupled to the network interface and that is operable to;

    determine whether a packet received on the network interface is a packet for testing the apparatus;

    extract test information from packets received on the network interface that are determined to be test packets;

    generate the test input signals for the first logic from the extracted test information; and

    incorporate test results into network packets based on the test output signal from the first logic;

    wherein the first logic, the network interface and the second logic are components of a device under testing.
