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 21):
A system for testing the performance of a network between a source and a destination, comprising:\n an input port configured to receive a plurality of original packets originating from said source, said input port producing a copy of each of said plurality of original packets and routing said copy of packets to a second port; and a traffic generator coupled to said second port, to determine a rate at which said copy of packets are produced and generate one or more synthetic packets at a synthetic packet rate such as to bring a total traffic rate equivalent to a testing rate; said traffic generator merges said synthetic packets with the original packets transmitted towards said destination when detecting one or more a delay between arrival of said copy of packets.
