Methods, systems, and computer readable media for link multiplexing and forwarding packets in a test environment

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for link multiplexing and forwarding packets in a test environment are disclosed. One example method occurs at a network switch comprising a first plurality of ports and a second plurality of ports, wherein each of the first plurality of ports is connected to one of a plurality of traffic generators and each of the second plurality of ports is connected to a system under test (SUT). The method comprises receiving, by the network switch, test packets via the first plurality of ports, wherein a first portion of the test packets includes a first aggregation identifier associated with a first egress port of the second plurality of ports; and forwarding, using the first aggregation identifier and at least one corresponding egress forwarding rule, the first portion of the test packets via the first egress port toward the SUT.
