| 1. A node emulator for conducting network testing by emulating node behavior in at least one node of a network comprising
a plurality of nodes, the node emulator comprising:
a node interface operable to generate an emulation script representing behavior of an emulated network node that is a virtual
node, the node interface being employed by the at least one network node as a result of communication between the at least
one network node and the node emulator, wherein the node emulator is operable to process the emulation script to conduct interactions
with the at least one node;
a memory operable to store the emulation script; and
a CPU operable to control the node emulator.
