Abstract Systems and methods for providing a boundary scan test of a wired or wireless
network having a plurality of network nodes are presented. The system includes a test
station communicatively coupled with the network. The test station creates a MAC layer scan

mechanism and protocol used for the network. The test station also creates a test agent that
is configured to traverse each link in the scan test route sequence. The test agent is then …
