Claim Text:
1. A method for evaluating performance of a wide area application service (WAAS), the method comprising: receiving network traffic statistics and properties associated with a first set of traffic flow within a first network comprising a first number of virtual client machines and corresponding virtual server machines connected therebetween through a wide area application service; establishing a second set of traffic flow associated with a second network, wherein the second set of traffic flow has a traffic volume associated with a second number of virtual client machines and corresponding virtual server machines connected therebetween through the wide area application service, wherein the second number is greater than the first number; translating the first set of traffic flow into the second set of traffic flow by scaling, based on differences of the first and second number of virtual client machines and corresponding virtual server machines; adjusting the second set of traffic flow associated with the second network so that the network traffic statistics and properties associated with the second set of traffic flow matches the network traffic statistics and properties associated with the first set of traffic flow; and testing performance of the wide area application service with the adjusted second set of traffic flow.
