Estimating the term…
The disclosed technology teaches testing a mesh network using new service application level KPIs that extend the TWAMP measurement architecture. A control-client receives and parses a configuration file to populate memory with IP addresses, ports, and test session parameters for disclosed KPIs used to originate two-way test sessions from a first network host; with control-servers and session-reflectors. The method extends the receiving, parsing and originating to dozens to thousands of control-clients, by sending to the control-clients configuration files to originate respective test sessions with control-servers in a mesh network using respective test session parameters; and while the test is running, sending an updated configuration file to at least one control-client that introduces a new control-server or replaces a control-server; and expanding the test to include the new or replacement control-server without stopping or restarting TW test sessions with other control-servers; and monitoring the running test sessions and receiving results.
A method of launching and updating a measurement architecture using Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (abbreviated TWAMP) for testing a mesh network including:
A system including one or more processors coupled to memory, the memory loaded with computer instructions that, when executed on the processors, launch and update a measurement architecture using Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (abbreviated TWAMP) for testing a mesh network, the instructions, when executed on the processors, implement actions comprising:
