摘要： There is disclosed a system and method for network test conflict checking. The method may be performed by a network testing system and may be implemented as software. The method may include receiving user selected test features and user selected hardware for a network test. When receiving user selected features, incompatible features are made unselectable by reference to a feature database. A compatibility check is performed by referring to a hardware database and a feature database. Suggestive corrective changes may be provided to a user or automatically made to the selected features and/or selected hardware. The network test is written to hardware when the compatibility test is successful.

摘要： There is disclosed a port unit and methods for testing a network. The port unit may include a traffic generator, traffic receiver, and a port processor. The traffic generator may include a memory that stores data defining a plurality of packet streams. The port processor may store label tracking data associating a plurality of label condition sets with one or more respective locations within the traffic generator memory. When a control packet associating a MPLS label with a specific label condition set is received via the traffic receiver, the port processor may store the MPLS label in one or more traffic generator memory locations associated with the specific label condition set in accordance with the stored label tracking data.

摘要： There are disclosed methods and a packet receiver for testing a network. A packet may be received from the network at a port unit. The port unit may ignore the received packet if the received packet does not contain a valid test signature. When the received packet contains a valid test signature, the port unit may determine if the port unit is an expected destination for the received packet. When the port unit is not an expected destination for the received packet, a misdirected packet counter may be incremented. When the port unit is an expected destination for the received packet, test data may be extracted from the received packet.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generation of sequence numbers for insertion into a data stream are disclosed. According to one aspect, low-overhead sequence number generation includes reading a stored set of coefficients and using them to calculate a value for a sequence number according to an equation for calculating a sequence number value, but not changing the values of the stored set of coefficients during generation of the sequence numbers. According to another aspect, a sequence number generation method is selected from multiple available methods based on a desired pattern of sequence numbers and used to generate sequence numbers that are included in a data stream. According to yet another aspect, sequence numbers are calculated using multiple inputs, each input being a counter output or a value referenced by a counter output.
