Abstract
A method for evaluating a load balancing (LB) mechanism, the method comprising: at a test system implemented using at least one processor: sending, via one or more paths comprising network nodes, a first set of test packets comprising transmit (TX) timestamps for evaluating a first LB mechanism; receiving, at a packet destination, the first set of test packets; generating receive (RX) timestamps for the first set of test packets at the packet destination; computing, by the packet destination or a packet analyzer, first in-flight metrics for the first set of test packets using the TX and RX timestamps, wherein computing the first in-flight metrics includes grouping the first set of test packets based on packet or flow characteristics and generating an average in-flight metric, a minimum in-flight metric, or a maximum in-flight metric for each of a plurality of groups; and evaluating the first LB mechanism using the in-flight metrics.
