ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for testing stateful network communications devices are disclosed. According to one test method, stateful and simulated stateless sessions are established with a device under test. Packets are sent to the device under test over the stateful and stateless connections. Information received on the stateful connections is used to alter test conditions on the stateless connections. As a result, a realistic mix of network traffic can be achieved with a reduced amount of hardware.
