Abstract

A method relates to providing arbitrary and custom application traffic generation on network devices. The method includes identifying, via a network controller, an application associated with a network to yield an identified application, spinning up, by the network controller, a traffic generator in a container on a network device, wherein the traffic generator is configured to emulate traffic associated with the network device and the identified application and monitoring performance of at least one of the identified application in the network and the traffic generator on the network device.
