Abstract:
The disclosed technology teaches testing a mesh network using new service application level KPIs that extend the TWAMP measurement architecture. A control-client receives and parses a configuration file to populate memory with IP addresses, ports, and test session parameters for disclosed KPIs used to originate two-way test sessions from a first network host; with control-servers and session-reflectors. The method extends the receiving, parsing and originating to dozens to thousands of control-clients, by sending to the control-clients configuration files to originate respective test sessions with control-servers in a mesh network using respective test session parameters; and while the test is running, sending an updated configuration file to at least one control-client that introduces a new control-server or replaces a control-server; and expanding the test to include the new or replacement control-server without stopping or restarting TW test sessions with other control-servers; and monitoring the running test sessions and receiving results.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of launching and updating a measurement architecture using Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (abbreviated TWAMP) for testing a mesh network including:\n causing a control-client running on a first network host,\n to receive and parse a configuration file to populate an in-memory data store with destination IP addresses, TCP and UDP transport ports, IP quality of service (abbreviated QoS) parameters, and test session parameters for key performance indicators (abbreviated KPI) used to originate a test including a set of two-way (abbreviated TW) test sessions originating from the first network host; and \n to originate test sessions with control-servers and session-reflectors using the test session parameters that specify the KPIs; \n extending the causing to dozens to thousands of control-clients running on additional network hosts by sending to the control-clients, configuration files that cause the control-clients to originate respective test sessions with control-servers and session-reflectors in a mesh network using respective test session parameters; while the test is running,\n sending an updated configuration file to at least one control-client that introduces a new control-server or replaces a control-server; and \n causing the control-client to expand the test to include the new or replacement control-server without stopping or restarting TW test sessions with other control-servers; and \n monitoring the running test and receiving reports of results from the network hosts.
