INDUCING DELAY FROM A PEER NODE TO QUANTIFY LATENCY-BASED BEHAVIOR

Techniques and architecture are described for inducing precise delays in a network device (network node) that has the capability to act on packets/traffic flows based on policy configurations of the network device and delays experienced by traffic in the network device. This capability may be used f...

Zusammenfassung:Techniques and architecture are described for inducing precise delays in a network device (network node) that has the capability to act on packets/traffic flows based on policy configurations of the network device and delays experienced by traffic in the network device. This capability may be used for testing and verification of the network device to verify that the network device meets the configured policies. Additionally, this capability may be utilized in an operational network to selectively induce delays and measure its impact for purposes such as, for example, planning, stress testing, resiliency, etc.
