Abstract:
The disclosed methods and systems of using TWAMP measurement architecture for testing a large network include a control-client running on a first network host initializing memory for test session parameters used to originate a test, parsing a configuration file to populate the memory with IP addresses, ports and QoS parameters for control-servers and session-reflectors; and originating test sessions using the test session parameters. The method includes extending to thousands of control-clients, each originating respective test sessions with control-servers in a mesh network using respective test session parameters; and while the test is running, optionally sending an updated configuration file to at least one control-client that introduces a new control-server or replaces a control-server; and the control-client parsing the updated configuration file and updating memory to include the new control-server IP address, port numbers and QoS parameters; and expanding the test and monitoring the running test sessions for results.

Claim (Index 8):
A system including one or more processors coupled to memory, the memory loaded with computer instructions that, when executed on the processors, launch and update Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (abbreviated TWAMP) architecture for testing a large network, with actions comprising:\n causing a control-client running on a first network host,\n to initialize an in-memory data store of test session parameters used to originate a test including a set of two-way (abbreviated TW) test sessions originating from the first network host, and \n to parse a configuration file to populate the in-memory data store with destination IP addresses, TCP and UDP transport ports and IP quality of service (abbreviated QoS) parameters for control-servers and session-reflectors; \n to originate test sessions with the control-servers and session-reflectors using the test session parameters; \n extending the causing to initialize the in-memory data store, parse the configuration file, and originate the test sessions to dozens to thousands of control-clients, causing each 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; \n causing the control-client to parse the updated configuration file and update the in-memory data structure to include the new control-server destination IP address, TCP and UDP transport port numbers and IP QoS parameters; \n causing the control-client to expand the test to include the new control-server; and \n monitoring the running test sessions with the control-servers for reports of results.
