METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR TESTING NETWORK EQUIPMENT DEVICES USING CONNECTIONLESS PROTOCOLS
First Claim
1. A system for testing a network equipment device under test (DUT), the system comprising:
- a network equipment test device including at least one processor and configured to execute a test script to test the network equipment DUT by sending network traffic to and receiving network traffic from the network equipment DUT using a connectionless protocol;
a test message generator implemented on the network equipment test device and configured for transmitting a first message using the connectionless protocol for a network flow to the network equipment DUT according to the test script and for storing a record for the network flow including a first flow identifier for the network flow based on a first payload of the first message; and
a test analyzer implemented on the network equipment test device and configured for receiving a second message from the network equipment DUT and determining that the second message belongs to the network flow by determining a second flow identifier based on a second payload of the second message and matching the second flow identifier to the first flow identifier.

Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing network equipment devices using connectionless protocols. In some examples, a method for testing a network equipment device under test (DUT) includes transmitting a first message using a connectionless protocol for a network flow to the network equipment DUT according to a test script. The method includes storing a record for the network flow including a first flow identifier for the flow based on a first payload of the first message. The method includes receiving a second message from the network equipment DUT and determining that the second message belongs to the network flow by determining a second flow identifier based on a second payload of the second message and matching the second flow identifier to the first flow identifier.

21. One or more non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for a network equipment test device comprising at least one processor that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
executing a test script to test a network equipment device under test (DUT) by sending network traffic to and receiving network traffic from the network equipment DUT using a connectionless protocol; transmitting a first message using the connectionless protocol for a network flow to the network equipment DUT according to the test script; storing a record for the network flow including a first flow identifier for the network flow based on a first payload of the first message; and receiving a second message from the network equipment DUT and determining that the second message belongs to the network flow by determining a second flow identifier based on a second payload of the second message and matching the second flow identifier to the first flow identifier.
