Abstract
A test system for a distributed load balancer in which a router receives packets from at least one client and routes packet flows to multiple load balancer (LB) nodes, which in turn distribute the packet flows among multiple server nodes. The test system includes message bus technology that enables the distributed load balancer to be run in a single process without requiring load balancing code to be deployed to multiple hosts in a production network. The message bus technology may be implemented in message bus layers of the test system to simulate network segments. The message bus functionality hooks into the IP tables at the kernel level, intercepts packets, and sends the packets up into the message bus process for routing.
