Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating simulated network traffic from a plurality of different traffic flows and maintaining a configured distribution among the flows are disclosed. One exemplary method includes determining a number of operations per flow for each of a plurality of flows that generate simulated network traffic between the flows and a device under test. The method further includes determining a desired traffic distribution among the traffic generated by the traffic flows. The method further includes assigning a weight to each flow that determines the number of times to execute each flow during execution of a batch of flows. The method further includes executing the flows in batches according to the assigned weights to transmit the desired distribution of traffic between the different flows and the device under test.
