Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing network equipment devices using connection-oriented protocols. In some examples, a method for testing a network equipment device under test (DUT) includes executing, by a network equipment test device, a test script to test the network equipment DUT using a connection-oriented protocol. The method includes inserting, during a connection establishment process of the connection-oriented protocol for a network flow to the network equipment DUT, a flow-identifying sequence number into a sequence number field of a first message of the network flow. The flow-identifying sequence number is a number uniquely identifying the network flow from other network flows. The method includes receiving a second message from the network equipment DUT and determining that the second message belongs to the network flow by extracting the flow-identifying sequence number from the second message.
