Patent ID: 7778171

Claim:
An apparatus for adaptive timing packet recovery stress testing, comprising: at least one packet generator configured to generate at least one packet traffic of interest (PTI) stream; at least one device under test configured to receive the at least one PTI stream; and a plurality of nodes coupled through a plurality of links between said at least one packet generator and said at least one device under test to route packets of the PTI stream between said at least one packet generator and said at least one device under test, wherein each of said nodes i) independently generates delays for packets routed through that node, each delay for a packet independently generated based on one or more delay profiles for each node, and ii) routes individual packets in the at least one packet stream over a unique path through said plurality of nodes and said plurality of links between said at least one packet generator and said at least one device under test; wherein the plurality of links provides multiple paths between said at least one packet generator and said at least one device under test through the plurality of nodes.
