  • Capturing and encoding of network transactions for playback in a simulation environment
    Patent number: 11068380
    Abstract: A computing system may include a plurality of computational instances each containing one or more computing devices and one or more databases. A traffic filtering device may be configured to: receive a first sequence of packets and filter the first sequence of packets to create a second sequence of packets, where the second sequence of packets includes only copies of packets that were transmitted to a particular computational instance. The computing system may further include a simulation compiler device configured to: (i) receive the second sequence of packets, (ii) identify a captured transaction within the second sequence of packets, and (iii) encode the captured transaction as a playback instruction, where the playback instruction can be used to generate a third sequence of packets that, when transmitted to a computational instance used for testing, simulates the captured transaction.
