Overview

Real-World Performance Testing Library for Application-Aware Network Devices

 

Modern trends in networking have resulted in many network devices becoming application-aware or performing conditional processing based on information contained in Layers 4-7 of the IP packets. This has changed the requirements towards the methodologies applicable to testing of such devices, service providers and equipment manufacturers alike must use real application traffic in protocol and transaction distributions representative of live networks to measure the performance, scalability and stress resilience characteristics of application-aware firewalls, Layer 4-7 traffic management devices or next generation service routers.

The Agilent Application Mix Test Library provides instant and precise answers to these challenges by subjecting devices to complex traffic conditions indistinguishable from real-world network environments, measuring the performance characteristics the devices will exhibit in real networks and assessing the peak levels of load and stress the devices will be able to withstand without disrupting service or compromising quality of user experience.
