Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for generating a test traffic configuration for testing a first network. From a second network, the method receives a set of data streams representing data traffic observed in the second network. The method uses a machine learning engine to analyze the set of data streams in order to determine traffic patterns in the second network. The method generates the test traffic configuration for testing the first network by replicating the traffic patterns of the second network in the first network.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to dynamically set a keepalive status for a client-server connection. In one implementation, a load balancer, providing load balancing operations for a plurality of servers, identifies a first FIN packet from a client to a server of the plurality of servers and sets a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keepalive status in association the connection between the client and the load balancer. The proxy further identifies a second FIN packet from the server to the client and removes the TCP keepalive status in association with the connection in response to the second FIN packet.
