Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing metadata to detect user datagram protocol (UDP) packet traffic loss
First Claim
1. A method for utilizing metadata to detect user datagram protocol (UDP) packet traffic loss, the method comprising:
- generating, at a UDP traffic generation module, a plurality of UDP packets associated with a UDP stream, wherein origination information corresponding to the UDP traffic generation module is included in a payload in each of the plurality of UDP packets;
receiving, at a UDP traffic receiver module, at least one of the plurality of UDP packets associated with the UDP stream that traverses through a device under test (DUT);
transmitting, from the UDP traffic receiver module to the UDP traffic generation module, recipient information that identifies the UDP traffic receiver module as the receiver of the UDP stream; and
receiving, at the UDP traffic receiver module via a secondary communication pathway that bypasses the DUT, stream verification metrics from the UDP traffic generation module, wherein the secondary communication pathway includes a connection link in which data communicated between the UDP traffic generation module and the UDP traffic receiver module is not lost due to the transmission process associated with the secondary communication pathway.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media utilizing metadata to detect UDP traffic loss in a test environment are disclosed. In one example, the method includes generating, at a user datagram protocol (UDP) traffic generation module, a plurality of UDP packets associated with a UDP stream, wherein origination information corresponding to the UDP traffic generation module is included in a payload in each of the plurality of UDP packets and receiving, at a UDP traffic receiver module, at least one of the plurality of UDP packets associated with the UDP stream. The method also includes transmitting, from the UDP traffic receiver module to the UDP traffic generation module, recipient information that identifies the UDP traffic receiver module as the receiver of the UDP stream and receiving, at the UDP traffic receiver module via a lossless environment, stream verification metrics from the UDP traffic generation module.
