ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system and method for efficient and flexible testing of data communication over computer networks. The system generates traffic streams and sends them to at least one server, and receives in return replying traffic streams. Traffic outgoing streams are generated in accordance with test parameters set by a test session creator. The system generates and receives dynamic traffic streams, and further has the capability to control the traffic rate of the reply traffic streams.
