Method and system for testing network in cloud computing system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for testing a network in a cloud computing system. The method comprises the steps that a user input is received by a network test deployer achieved by usingat least one processor; a central test server for a network test tool in the cloud computing system and multiple test agents for the network test tool are deployed by the network test deployer, wherein one or more public test agents are deployed in the cloud computing system, and the central test server, one or more public test agents and one or more private test agents are configured in a network outside the cloud computing system, so that the test traffics are exchanged by using the network test port range designated by the user input; and a firewall for the cloud computing system is configured by the network test deployer, so that the network test port range for the test traffics is opened in the firewall.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cloud computing, in particular to a method and system for testing a network in a cloud computing system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the continuous deepening of information construction, people's dependence on information systems is also getting deeper and deeper. As the operating basis and underlying platform of the entire information system, the computer network's correct, reliable, safe, and stable operation is crucial to information systems and information applications. Under such a development background, network testing, as an important means to ensure the normal and stable operation of the entire information system, has been paid more and more attention. Network testing is an important part of the system-level testing of the entire information system, including the lowest physical transmission layer, that is, network wiring testing, to net...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In view of the above network testing requirements, the main means and methods currently used are as follows: Use common application software (such as wireshark and Kelai software) running in the operating system to edit, send, capture and analyze data, but the sending rate and The capture efficiency is limited by the computer and its network adapter, so it is difficult to test the performance of network equipment, such as delay, throughput and other parameters cannot be accurately tested, and the network equipment with an access rate above 1000Mbps cannot meet the test requirements; use a dedicated test Instruments (such as Spirent TestCenter, IXIA, etc.) can meet most network testing requirements, but this type of testing equipment is extremely expensive, inconvenient to maintain, and does not have flexible secondary development, which greatly affects the user's use efficiency and increases the cost. User cost; using a dedicated test module for testing, but the current dedicated test module only focuses on the performance test of the network layer 2-3 protocol, and the test function above the network layer is particularly insufficient, only doing the benchmark test of the 2-3 layer , still cannot guarantee the robustness and security of the network
