Abstract: In some examples, high-speed hardware-based traffic analyzer integration with speed test control application may include receiving, from a speed test control application, speed test control instructions and data connection instructions to perform an upload and download high-speed test associated with network traffic for a network. The speed test control instructions and the data connection instructions may be forwarded to a speed test control server. A hardware-based traffic analyzer may perform, based on the speed test control instructions and the data connection instructions, the high-speed test associated with the network traffic for the network.

Abstract: A network test device tests key performance indicators for a link aggregation group (LAG). Ports for the LAG are determined. Test streams including test frames are generated and transmitted from the ports to test the LAG. The test frames include a unique stream identifier for a corresponding test stream. The test frames may be looped back. Key performance indicators for the LAG are determined based on the received test frames and the unique stream identifier in each test frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for real time testing of TCP traffic in a network, the method comprising: (a) connecting a tester to the network; (b) requesting connectionless traffic from a remote device connected to the network, to the tester; (c) generating the connectionless traffic comprising a plurality of packet streams, with the remote device, and receiving the connectionless traffic by the tester; (d) generating TCP traffic comprising a plurality of TCP sessions between the tester and the remote device; and, (e) concurrently with steps (c) and (d), in real time collecting statistics of the TCP sessions using the tester. The tester has an-FPGA implemented traffic engine, including a TCP state machine, for generating and receiving traffic at the rates of at least 1 gigabit per second, and for collecting statistics in real time.
