Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at processing circuitry, first message characteristics of a plurality of messages to transmit to a first device, wherein the first message characteristics include a message inter-arrival time, a message size characteristic, and a message type of actual message traffic transmitted to another device; determining first statistics of the first message characteristics including an average of the inter-arrival time, a standard deviation of the inter-arrival time, an average of the message size, a standard deviation of the message size, and a number of messages with the message type; generating, using the processing circuitry, mock messages that include second message characteristics that are statistically the same as the determined first statistics, the second message characteristics different from the first message characteristics; and transmitting the plurality of mock messages to the first device, wherein the plurality of mock messages are configured by the processing circuitry to be different from the plurality of messages.
