METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR MICROBURST TESTING

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for microburst testing are disclosed. According to one method, the method includes defining a test that is divided into one or more test cycles, wherein each test cycle includes a plurality of time intervals for providing packets to destination ports of N ports of the network equipment test device via a plurality of ports of a network switch under test, wherein N is an integer. The method further includes initializing a replication count. The method also includes executing an instance of the test using the replication count. The method further includes monitoring packets switched by each port of the network switch under test to determine an indication of buffering capacity of each port of the network switch under test.

1. A method for microburst testing, the method comprising:
defining a test that is divided into one or more test cycles, wherein each test cycle includes a plurality of time intervals for providing packets to destination ports of N ports of a network equipment test device via a plurality of ports of a network switch under test, wherein N is an integer; initializing a replication count, which defines a number of consecutive time intervals, wherein, during each of the consecutive time intervals, at least N−1 packets are transmitted to a same destination port of the N ports of the network equipment test device via at least one of the ports of the network switch under test; executing an instance of the test using the replication count; and monitoring packets switched by each port of the network switch under test to determine an indication of buffering capacity of each port of the network switch under test.
