ABSTRACT:
An in-line network simulator is provided that disrupts packets traveling through it to simulate network conditions. According to one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at an in-line network simulator, packets sent from a source node to a destination node. The in-line network simulator classifies the received packets into respective ones of a plurality of different classifications, and disrupts the received packets based on corresponding disruption characteristics defined for their respective classifications. Such disrupting of the packets may include selectively performing at least one of delaying, dropping, and reordering of the received packets.
