ABSTRACT
High end networked-systems have quickly climbed from a throughput of gigabits/sec to terabits/sec, and are approaching petabits/sec. Alas, network testing equipment has not scaled: it remained either low throughput or extremely expensive. With suitable network testing equipment either not at scale or too expensive even for commercial vendors, systems may be released without proper testing and validation. We propose a methodology for large scale testing of networked systems, based on using a low-cost, open source network tester and a commodity switch. Our approach is scalable, open source, and accurate, and can be adapted to a variety of networking equipment, widely available to users.

Towards scalable network emulation
The Internet protocol traffic and network emulator (IP-TNE) enables real hosts and a real network to interact with a virtual network. It combines a real-time network simulator with a mechanism to capture packets from and write packets to a real network. ...
