There are disclosed apparatus, methods, and a storage medium for testing a network. A plurality of flows may be received and performance statistics for the flows may be measured and stored. At least a portion of the performance statistics may be analyzed in near real-time using a hierarchical array of processors.

Distributed flow analysis

A broadcast capable file system is disclosed. In a method, a server may receive a file request from a requesting client and prepare a broadcast response to the file request. The broadcast response may be directed to a group of clients of which the requesting client is a member. In another method, at least one of the clients of the group of clients may submit a file request to the server. Each of the clients of the group may receive a broadcast response to the file request. The broadcast capable file system may be implemented between a server computing device and multiple client computing devices. The server computing device and multiple client computing devices may be included in a network testing system.

Broadcast capable file system

Methods and apparatus for testing performance of an system under test are disclosed. The system under test is loaded with simulated traffic which may be generated from a single test port. The performance of the system under test under load may be tested.

Generating traffic for testing a system under test

Systems, methods and devices for virtual network addresses. A method comprises processing a request from a requestor to create a plurality of software network devices having a corresponding plurality of media access control (MAC) addresses. The MAC addresses may be allocated to a network interface circuit. The MAC addresses and the software network devices may be provided to the requestor. Incoming data units may be received from a network via a driver and a demultiplexor. Outgoing data units may be sent on to the network via a driver.
