1. A method of removing latency in performance tests conducted on a home network by deployable containerized tests, the method including: deploying a test onto an active element of the home network via a network interface, the test containerized into an open platform distributed system container that shares with one or more other containers a single instance of an operating system; executing the test to generate traffic and sending the traffic to one or more other active elements in the home network that provide responses to the active element; and retrieving the responses from a ring buffer managed by the operating system by directly accessing a mapped memory portion implementing the ring buffer, whereby the retrieving the responses from the ring buffer by directly accessing the mapped memory portion implementing the ring buffer enables the responses to be retrieved with less latency than retrieving responses using system calls.
