Abstract
In order to preliminarily perform a load test or the like of an IP network, a test apparatus instructs a test packet transmitting device to transmit a test packet having a specified multicast address and instructs a test packet receiving device to receive the test packet of the multicast address. The test apparatus further instructs a first relay device to relay the test packet of the multicast address and instructs a second relay device to perform a route optimization excluding processing. The test packet receiving device requests the second relay device to transfer the test packet of the multicast address when the test packet receiving device has received the instruction to receive the test packet.
Claims9
A network testing method by a test apparatus or a test packet transmitting device comprising:
- instructing a test packet receiving device to receive a test packet having a specified multicast address;
- instructing a first relay device to relay the test packet having the multicast address;
- and
- instructing a second relay device to perform a route optimization excluding processing;
- the test packet receiving device requesting the second relay device to transfer the test packet having the multicast address when the test packet receiving device has received the instruction to receive the test packet.
A network testing system comprising:
- a test apparatus or a test packet transmitting device;
- a test packet receiving device;
- and
- a first and a second relay device;
- the test apparatus or the test packet transmitting device instructing the test packet receiving device to receive a test packet having a specified multicast address, instructing the first relay device to relay the test packet having the multicast address, and instructing the second relay device to perform a route optimization excluding processing, in which the test packet receiving device requests the second relay device to transfer the test packet having the multicast address when the test packet receiving device has received the instruction to receive the test packet.
