Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing time sensitive network (TSN) elements are disclosed. According to one method for testing a TSN element, the method occurs at a test system. The method includes synchronizing a test system clock with a clock at a system under test (SUT). The method also includes receiving a sequence of messages, wherein the sequence of messages is generated using schedule rules associated with a TSN stream. The method further includes determining, using timing information associated with the test system clock, whether the schedule rules are accurately implemented by the SUT.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing and/or determining scheduling fidelity in a time sensitive network (TSN) are disclosed. According to one method for determining scheduling fidelity in a TSN, the method occurs in a test system. The method includes receiving, via a system under test (SUT), at least one expected receive time indicating when a test packet is expected to be received by at least one destination. The method further includes computing, using the at least one expected receive time and at least one actual receive time, a time variation metric associated with the test packet.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for emulating virtualization resources are disclosed. According to one method, the method occurs at a computing platform. The method includes receiving a message associated with a device under test (DUT) and in response to receiving the message, performing an action associated with at least one of an emulated hypervisor and an emulated virtual machine (VM).
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing an anticipated data integrity check are disclosed. According to one method, the method includes generating a test message including an anticipated data integrity check value (ADICV), wherein the ADICV is computed using at least one value based on at least one expected modification to message data in the test message by at least one system under test (SUT), and sending the test message to the at least one SUT.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for synchronizing timing among network interface cards in a network equipment test device are disclosed. One method includes generating and sending timing synchronization measurement signals to the management network interface card and a test network interface card in the network equipment test device. The method further includes recording times of receipt of the timing synchronization measurement signals at the management network interface card and the test network interface card. The method further includes adjusting timing of the test network interface card using the times of receipt of the timing synchronization measurement signals.

Abstract:
A system for testing recovered clock quality includes a test device for operating as a timing synchronization protocol master for communicating with a device under test functioning as a timing synchronization protocol slave or a timing synchronization protocol boundary clock to synchronize a clock of the device under test with a clock of the test device. The system further includes a recovered clock quality tester for receiving, from the device under test, a reverse synchronization message including clock information and for using the clock information to quantify a synchronization error between the clock of the device under test and the clock of the test device.
