This work proposes an adaptation of classical network management protocols for the purpose of a deep testing and management of network-based electronic systems such as routers, switches, and personal computers. The basic idea of this work is to extrapolate the advantages of network management functions (monitoring, control, test驴) to the level of an electronic device. To this end, the proposed approach starts very early in the design process of integrated circuits where the concept of managed integrated circuit is introduced. A widely known design-for-test (DFT) technique is extended to render it useful through classical TCP/IP networks. The suggested solution is described and its efficiency is illustrated through extensive experimentations.
