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 20240348518 titled 'DYNAMIC TRAFFIC GENERATOR AND NETWORK IMPAIRMENT TOOL FOR SIMULATION OF VIRTUAL NETWORK FABRICS
The patent application describes a system for simulating traffic flow in a virtualized network fabric.
- Creation of virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers in a visualization tool.
- Generation of micro-probes for clients/servers to be simulated in the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.
- Generation of network impairments associated with the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet server locations.
- Launching of client-role or server-role traffic invokers in each micro-probe to simulate traffic between the virtual network hubs, branch locations, and internet servers.
Potential Applications: - Network performance testing and optimization. - Virtual network design and analysis. - Training and education in network management.
Problems Solved: - Efficient simulation of traffic flow in complex network environments. - Realistic testing of network configurations and performance.
