Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for testing request-response service using live connection traffic." This invention provides a method and apparatus for comparing network systems using live traffic in real-time. The technique presents real-world workload without external impact on the system under test, enabling accurate comparisons against production systems for correctness verification. A preferred embodiment of this invention is a testing tool for pseudo-live testing of CDN content staging servers. The invention involves monitoring traffic between clients and live production CDN servers through a simulator device, which replicates this workload onto a system under test (SUT). The simulator detects divergences between the outputs from the SUT and live production servers, allowing for the identification of erroneous behavior. The SUT is isolated from the outside world to ensure that any errors or crashes do not affect CDN customers or end users. The simulator acts as a proxy for clients, simulating real-world client behavior, including malformed packets, timeouts, dropped traffic, and reset connections.
