Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing software defined networks

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing software defined networks (SDNs). An example system includes a traffic generator configured for generating SDN test traffic for the SDN; a network impairment module configured for applying a plurality of impairment profiles to the SDN test traffic; and a network testing monitor configured for monitoring the SDN test traffic on the SDN. The system includes an SDN performance modeler configured for mapping, for each impairment profile, the impairment profile to SDN performance metric values based on monitoring the SDN test traffic by the network testing monitor in response to applying the impairment profile by the network impairment module.
