==DYNAMIC TRAFFIC GENERATOR AND NETWORK IMPAIRMENT TOOL FOR SIMULATION OF VIRTUAL NETWORK FABRICS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356894 titled 'DYNAMIC TRAFFIC GENERATOR AND NETWORK IMPAIRMENT TOOL FOR SIMULATION OF VIRTUAL NETWORK FABRICS

**Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes a method for simulating traffic flow in a virtualized network fabric using virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.

**Key Features and Innovation:**
* Creation of virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers in a visualization tool.
* Generation of micro-probes for simulating clients/servers in the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.
* Introduction of network impairments associated with the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.
* Launching of traffic invokers in micro-probes to simulate traffic between the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.

**Potential Applications:**
This technology can be used for testing and optimizing network configurations, evaluating network performance under different conditions, and training network administrators in a simulated environment.

**Problems Solved:**
The technology addresses the need for realistic and efficient simulation of traffic flow in complex network environments, allowing for better understanding and management of network behavior.

**Benefits:**
* Improved network performance testing and optimization.
* Enhanced training opportunities for network administrators.
* Cost-effective simulation of network traffic without the need for physical hardware.

**Commercial Applications:**
"Virtualized Network Traffic Simulation Technology for Network Performance Testing and Training"

**Questions about Virtualized Network Traffic Simulation:**

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using virtualized network traffic simulation for training purposes?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for simulating traffic flow in a virtualized network fabric. A method includes: creating in a visualization tool one or more virtual network hubs, one or more virtual branch locations, and one or more virtual internet servers; generating one or more micro-probes for clients/servers to be simulated, one or more of the clients/servers is located in each of the one or more virtual network hubs, virtual branch locations, and the virtual internet servers; generating one or more network impairments, which are associated with one or more of the one or more of network hubs, branch locations, and/or internet server locations; and launching one or more, client-role or server-role traffic invokers in each micro-probe to simulate traffic between the one or more of the virtual network hubs, the virtual branch locations, and/or the virtual internet server.
