10 Gigabit Testing Tools for Content-Aware Networks

Driving realistic enterprise network traffic to put today’s content-aware network equipment to the test requires serious computing horsepower. What once required racks of testing systems, now requires just one BreakingPoint system.

At the core of BreakingPoint’s application performance and security testing solution is our patent-pending Test Expression Engine™. It features multiple Field Programmable Gate Arrays, network processors, and an array of embedded processors to produce millions of real application data streams, while pushing security to the max.

BreakingPoint’s innovative testing platform was also designed with ease of use in mind with the ability to deploy quickly, automate tests and control the device under test. Designed as an all-in-one box that provides multiport and multiuser capabilities – we’ve raised the bar for testing content-aware networks and network equipment.
