Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing network elements of an in-band telemetry (INT)-capable network are disclosed. One exemplary method includes generating, by a network test tool device, at least one INT test system data packet that includes emulated INT metadata that represents telemetry parameters corresponding to a plurality of emulated network devices. The method also includes sending the at least one INT test system data packet to an INT sink device and generating, by the INT sink device, an INT telemetry report derived from the INT metadata extracted from the at least one INT test system data packet. The method also includes forwarding the generated INT telemetry report to a software defined network (SDN) controller entity.
