Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for recycling background traffic in a test environment are disclosed. One example method occurs at a test system implemented using at least one processor, the method comprising: generating background packets usable as background traffic in a data center switching fabric used in delivering test traffic to a system under test (SUT); sending, from a first packet source of the test system and via the data center switching fabric, the background packets toward a first packet destination of the test system; receiving, by the first packet destination, at least some of the background packets; and resending, from a re-entry packet source of the test system and via the data center switching fabric, at least one received background packet toward the first packet destination or a second packet destination.
