In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to store a set of stream signatures representing a set of test streams. The code can be configured to cause the processor to receive at a test device a stream signature from a test packet after the test packet has been processed at a device-under-test. The test packet can emulate at least a portion of network traffic. The code can also be configured to cause the processor to define an indicator representing that the test packet is from a new test stream when the stream signature from the test packet is different than each stream signature from the set of stream signatures. The new test stream is excluded from the set of test streams.

Methods and apparatus related to analysis of test packets

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a packet generation module that has a set of general purpose processing modules and is configured to define a test packet configured to emulate at least a portion of network traffic. The apparatus also includes a switch device configured to receive the test packet from the packet generation module. The switch device is configured to multi-cast the test packet via a set of ports of the switch device to a target entity based on a routing policy.
