Abstract:
A system for out-of-line testing of performance of a network, comprising a multiplexer at an input to the network; a demultiplexer at an output from the network; said multiplexer further comprising a traffic generator to insert synthetic traffic, and a first switch to accept an incoming customer traffic stream and join said incoming customer traffic stream with a synthetic traffic stream to form a total traffic stream, said total traffic stream fed to said input to said network; and said demultiplexer comprising a second switch to receive said total traffic stream from said output of said network, and separate said total traffic stream into the synthetic traffic stream and the customer traffic stream, and a traffic analyzer to analyze said separated synthetic traffic stream.

Claim (Index 25):
A method to evaluate the performance of a network configured between a source and a destination, the method comprising:\n receiving from said source, a plurality of original packets; producing a copy of each of said plurality of original packets; estimating an arrival rate of said copy of packets and generating one or more synthetic packets at a second rate such that a total traffic rate reaches a predetermined test rate; inserting said synthetic packets within one or more gaps in the copy of said plurality of original packets; removing said copy of packets; multiplexing said synthetic packets with said original packets to produce a combined stream of packets; and transmitting said combined stream of packets toward said destination.
