Patent ID: 8463907

Claim:
A system for a performance test in an outside channel combination environment comprising first and second outside-affairs servers in an active-active form, first and second outside channel combination servers, and first and second network devices, the system comprising: a plurality of test lines connected to one another so that a closed circuit is formed at outputs of the first and second network devices; and at least one load generator connected to an input of the first or second outside-affairs servers for generating loads corresponding to outbound messages to be sent to a plurality of outside authorities, and measuring system performance, wherein the loads generated by the load generator are sent to the second outside channel combination server via the first outside-affairs server, the first outside channel combination server, the first network device, the test lines, and the second network device, and the second outside channel combination server generates a response message corresponding to the received load, and then sends the response message to the load generator via the second network device, the test lines, the first network device, the first outside channel combination server, and the first outside-affairs server to measure system performance.
