Testing Tools

Legacy test vendors are unable to keep up with the new realities of network equipment testing because of their rigid architectures. They cannot easily update their solutions with the latest application protocols, in fact it can often take up to a year to provide even the most common application protocols for testing.

BreakingPoint solutions are architected in three independent layers that work together, providing a testing environment that effectively enables a future-proof, field-upgradeable product:

1. The Hardware Layer provides the firepower needed to effectively test network equipment with both Layer 2-3 and Layer 4-7 traffic at 10 Gigabit and faster speeds.
2. The Control Layer is the go-between, enabling sophisticated automation of testing and eliminating the need to manually script or start from scratch on every test.
3. The Management Layer provides an intuitive management interface, application profile repository, detailed reporting and the ability to test proprietary applications.

These layers come together to provide the industry's fastest, most accurate, easy-to-use and flexible performance and security testing product.

BreakingPoint products provide comprehensive Layer 2-7 testing for network equipment and application servers that are powerful, flexible and easy-to-use. Unlike legacy testing tools designed for HTTP-only test environments, BreakingPoint provides a level of accuracy unmatched in the industry.

• More than 60 application protocols are available including HTTP, SMTP, AOL^® IM, FIX, IBM DB2, Microsoft^® CIFS/SMB, MAPI, Oracle, Encrypted BitTorrent™, eDonkey, RADIUS, SIP, Windows Live Messenger, World of Warcraft^®, Yahoo!^® Messenger, and many others.
• More than 3,700 fully evaded security attacks are available, including contemporary exploits, Microsoft vulnerabilities and Zero-day exploits.
• Includes IPv6 and SSL support.
• Provides the most complete Microsoft Tuesday coverage.
• New application protocols and security strikes released each week and an API is available for accelerating proprietary protocols.

BreakingPoint network equipment testing products provide unprecedented realism, session performance and throughput. There is a BreakingPoint product that meets your testing needs.
