Abstract
A method relates to providing arbitrary and custom application traffic generation on network devices. The method includes identifying, via a network controller, an application associated with a network to yield an identified application, spinning up, by the network controller, a traffic generator in a container on a network device, wherein the traffic generator is configured to emulate traffic associated with the network device and the identified application and monitoring performance of at least one of the identified application in the network and the traffic generator on the network device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, via a network controller, an application associated with a network to yield an identified application;
- spinning up, by the network controller, a traffic generator in a virtual container on a network device, the traffic generator simulating traffic associated with the identified application;
- and
- monitoring performance of at least one of the identified application in the network and the traffic generator on the network device.
A network controller, the network controller comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- identify an application associated with a network to yield an identified application;
- spin up a traffic generator in a virtual container on a network device, the traffic generator simulating traffic associated with the identified application;
- and
- monitor performance of at least one of the identified application in the network and the traffic generator on the network device.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- identify an application associated with a network to yield an identified application;
- spin up a traffic generator in a virtual container on a network device, the traffic generator simulating traffic associated with the identified application;
- and
- monitor performance of at least one of the identified application in the network and the traffic generator on the network device.
