Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating and using statistically varying network traffic mixes to test network devices
Last updated:
Abstract:
A method for generating and using a statistical mix of network traffic to test a network device is provided. The method includes steps performed in a network equipment test device. The steps include generating test packets to be transmitted to a device under test. The steps further include using a random number generator to generate first values that statistically vary according to a first probability density function (PDF). The steps further include precalculating and storing in memory, a plurality of second values that statistically vary according to a second probability density function different from the first probability density function. The method further includes using the first values to access the memory and select from the second values. The steps further include using the selected second values to statistically vary an aspect of the test packets. The steps further include transmitting the test packets to the device under test.
