Application: Traffic amplification for testing of a networking device (Patent ID: US20230421476A1)
The patent filed by Lumen Technologies Inc. discloses a method for testing network devices under large traffic loads using traffic load amplifiers. These load amplifiers replicate packets from an initial traffic load, alter the destination addresses in the headers of the replicated packets, and transmit them back to the device for routing. This process is repeated to amplify the traffic load until a target load is achieved for testing device performance. The method involves controlling the amplification level of the load amplifier, monitoring traffic rates, and adjusting the amplification level accordingly. The system includes load generators, load amplifiers, switches, and output transmitters to facilitate the testing process efficiently.
The patent also describes a system for testing network devices, comprising load generators, networking devices, and load amplifier systems. The load amplifier systems replicate packets, alter headers, and transmit them to various ports of the networking device for testing. The system includes multiple load amplifiers, switches for load balancing, and output transmitters for efficient transmission. Additionally, a testing device is included to monitor operational parameters of the networking device and adjust the amplification level of the load amplifier system based on these parameters. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method and system for testing network devices under large traffic loads using innovative traffic load amplification techniques.
