Subject: Re: Testing a Protocol Class

Hello Bill,

I would suggest to use a separate class that abstracts from the
transportation layer (TCP) and has a functional interface that
corresponds 1:1 with the protocol commands.

Testing the transportation layer is another test case and should
include all the possible failure problems on a network.

Mixing both testcases into a huge one makes testing much harder, and
takes more lines of code to implement.
