Cost effective traffic generators for a complex IP network

摘要

A personal computer (PC) (204) based traffic generator generates test traffic to be transmitted through an internet protocol (IP) network (200) to a target (208A). A PC (204) including a plurality of traffic generators (205A-C) generates test traffic to be transmitted through the IP network (200) to a plurality of targets (208A-C) coupled to the IP network (200). The PC (204) includes a routing table (210) including IP addresses (212A-C) of the plurality of targets (208A-C), wherein the traffic generators (205A-C) generate the test traffic in accordance with the IP addresses (212A-C) in the routing table (210). <IMAGE>
