Abstract
System and a method for server recording and client playback of computer network characteristics. In general, the network simulation system includes a recording module that resides on a server and records and stores the network characteristics associated with networks sessions in a data collector file. The system also includes a playback module that resides on a client and receives the data collector file and plays back the data collector file upon request. The recording method of the present invention includes using a global filter residing on the server to record the network characteristics and storing the recording in a data collector file. The playback method includes receiving a data collector file containing recorded network characteristics recorded on a server and playing back the data collector file to simulate the characteristics of real-world network sessions.
