Abstract

A network equipment test device provides a user interface for user specification of a test traffic source, a test traffic destination, SUT and waypoint topology and one or more test cases. In response to receiving the specified input from the user via the interface, the test traffic source is automatically configured to send the test traffic to the destination via the SUT. The waypoint is automatically configured to measure the test traffic. When the test is initiated, test traffic is sent from the test traffic source to the test traffic destination via the SUT and the at least one waypoint. Test traffic is measured at the waypoint, and traffic measurement results are displayed on a visual map of SUT topology.
