Testing Tools
Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs) and Service Providers are developing and deploying a new generation of network devices that leverage content-aware functionality. This technology introduces millions of new variables that impact performance and security, adding significant cost and complexity. New testing solutions are needed that not only validate performance and functionality under realistic conditions, but also accelerate development and time-to-market while reducing costs in R&D, QA and operations. BreakingPoint's family of testing products deliver:
The Most Realistic Blended Traffic on a Single Port
Authentic testing with the ability to natively generate blended traffic from more than 60 application protocols and 3,600 live security attacks. New applications are released weekly and an API is available for creating your own proprietary application traffic.
Industry-leading Session Performance and Throughput
Price performance leadership with up to 15 million simultaneous TCP sessions, 1.5 million TCP sessions per second, 20 gigabits per second of Layer 4-7 traffic and 80 Gigabits per second of Layer 2-3 traffic. BreakingPoint products also scale easily to more than 200 Gigabits per second of Layer 4-7 traffic and 800 Gigabits per second of Layer 2-3 traffic.
Easy-to-Use Automated Testing
Reduce time-to-test by 50% with an intuitive management interface, application profile repository, multi-user capabilities, integrated reporting and extensive automation improve productivity for staff of all skill levels.

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:

- The Hardware Layer provides the firepower needed to effectively test network equipment with both Layer 2-3 and Layer 4-7 traffic.
- 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.
- 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.
