Abstract:
1. A computer-readable memory storing instructions computer-executable instructions, comprising: instructions for capturing real-time data of a first processing system on a first network, wherein the real-time data includes a command having a payload, and wherein the capturing is performed independently of a storage protocol used to send the command via the first network; instructions for modifying the payload such that an original content of the payload cannot be identified from the modified payload; instructions for generating replay traffic based on a live network traffic of the first network, wherein a portion of the replay traffic includes the command and the modified payload; and instructions for sending the replay traffic including the command and the modified payload to a second network so that the second network can replay the command and the modified payload, wherein a second processing system of the second network has a file system configured based on an initial state of a first processing system of the first network; instructions for evaluating a performance characteristic of the first processing system of the first network based on a response of the second network to the replay traffic.
