Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
