Flow rule installation latency testing in software defined networks

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory configured in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is effective to execute a hypervisor;
• the hypervisor configured to:
• deploy a virtual network switch configured to route data to and from virtualized computing environments executing on the hypervisor;
• deploy a client process in a first container executing on the hypervisor;
• and
• deploy a server process on the hypervisor;
• the client process configured to:
• receive a first request to deploy a first virtual machine on the hypervisor;
• and
• generate, in response to the first request, first instructions configured to cause the server process to generate a first namespace;
• the server process configured to:
• generate the first namespace in response to the first instructions;
• and
• communicatively couple the first namespace to the virtual network switch.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

• deploy, by a hypervisor, a virtual network switch configured to route data to and from virtualized computing environments executing on the hypervisor;
• execute first code configured to instantiate a client process in a first container;
• execute second code configured to instantiate a server process on the hypervisor;
• receive, by the client process, a first request to deploy a first virtual machine on the hypervisor;
• generate, by the client process in response to the first request, first instructions configured to cause the server process to generate a first namespace;
• generate, by the server process, the first namespace;
• and
• communicatively couple the first namespace to the virtual network switch by the server process.
