Abstract
Methods, computing devices, and computer readable storage media for testing network connections are disclosed. A first processor of a plurality of processors may define a new TCP connection to be opened. The first processor may apply a hash function to determine a second processor of the plurality of processors to open the new TCP connection. The first processor may provide data defining the new TCP connection to the second processor. The second processor may open the new TCP connection in accordance with the data provided by the first processor.
Claims25
A method performed by a test system to test network connections, comprising:
- a first processor of a plurality of processors defining a new TCP connection to be opened;
- the first processor applying a hash function to determine a second processor of the plurality of processors to open the new TCP connection;
- the first processor transferring data defining the new TCP connection to the second processor;
- and
- the second processor opening the new TCP connection in accordance with the data transferred from the first processor.
A computing device, comprising:
- a plurality of processors;
- wherein a first processor of the plurality of processors executes stored instruction causing the first processor to perform actions comprising:
- defining a new TCP connection to be opened;
- applying a hash function to determine a second processor of the plurality of processors to open the new TCP connection;
- and
- transferring data defining the new TCP connection to the second processor;
- wherein the second processor of the plurality of processors executes stored instructions causing the second processor to open the new TCP connection in accordance with the data transferred from the first processor.
A machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device having a plurality of processors, causes actions including:
- a first processor of the plurality of processors defining a new TCP connection to be opened;
- the first processor applying a hash function to determine a second processor of the plurality of processors to open the new TCP connection;
- the first processor transferring data defining the new TCP connection to the second processor;
- and
- the second processor opening the new TCP connection in accordance with the data transferred from the first processor.
