Abstract

CommTest is an evolution of quality of service performance testing software program called originally “Traffik” and has had recent developments in algorithmic analysis and design. In this paper, CommTest is modified with an addition of a new real-time Trend Identification process incorporating Least Square Methodology (TILSM) as well as new design to incorporate detailed whitebox testing. The TILSM algorithm is tested and verified by comparison to other performance measurement tools. Results generated from tcpdump and Wireshark are analyzed against CommTest results for the performance test metric throughput to evaluate accuracy and precision, with the goal of improving CommTest measurements for an Intelligent Satellite Services (ISS) system beyond established benchmarks. Tests were conducted in virtual network configurations to accommodate ISS Project planning.
