SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLICATION TRAFFIC SIMULATION USING CAPTURED FLOWS

Application performance can be simulated based on captured application-specific traffic flows through a managed network. Traffic flows may be captured across the managed network and associated with a particular application. The captured flows can be used to generate trend lines and models. The generated trend lines and models may be used to simulate application performance responsive to changes in network characteristics and provided to a user through a graphical user interface as a graph. The user may then adjust simulated network characteristics through the graphical user interface to perform various hypothetical network simulations.
