Generating processed traffic
First Claim
1. A method of generating processed traffic, the method comprising providing a test scenario for generating a stream of encrypted traffic generating data units in accordance with the test scenario at a first rate encrypting the data units at a second rate encapsulating the data units at a third rate holding the encapsulated data units releasing and transmitting at a fourth rate the held data units as the stream of encrypted traffic wherein the fourth rate is greater than a sum of the first rate, the second rate and the third rate.

Abstract
There is disclosed methods and apparatus for generation of processed traffic. An environment may include a traffic generator, a network, a gateway and a traffic receiver. The abilities of the gateway may be tested by generating traffic from the traffic generator and transmitting it to the traffic receiver via the network and the gateway. Time constraints of processor-intensive processing may be avoided by holding or looping back traffic from the traffic generator so that the traffic may be transmitted as needed for a test.
