  • Patent number: 8832309
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generation of sequence numbers for insertion into a data stream are disclosed. According to one aspect, low-overhead sequence number generation includes reading a stored set of coefficients and using them to calculate a value for a sequence number according to an equation for calculating a sequence number value, but not changing the values of the stored set of coefficients during generation of the sequence numbers. According to another aspect, a sequence number generation method is selected from multiple available methods based on a desired pattern of sequence numbers and used to generate sequence numbers that are included in a data stream. According to yet another aspect, sequence numbers are calculated using multiple inputs, each input being a counter output or a value referenced by a counter output.

  • Patent number: 8773984
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring a convergence time of a network. Test traffic including a plurality of packet groups may be transmitted and received via the network. The network may be instructed to redirect packets belonging to a selected packet group from a first port of the network to a second port of the network. A first test port unit coupled to the first port may determine an arrival rate for the selected packet group and store a below threshold timestamp when the arrival rate first falls below a predetermined threshold rate. A second test port unit coupled to the second port may determine an arrival rate for the selected packet group and store an above threshold timestamp when the arrival rate first equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold rate. The convergence time may be determined based on the below threshold timestamp and the above threshold timestamp.
