Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Testing

Validate Deep Packet Inspection performance, security, and stability

Used in network devices to enforce traffic shaping and policing at low levels of granularity as well as to mitigate security attacks, deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities are now built into most network equipment. But most DPI testing tools focus on compliance assessment rather than on performance and security, leaving those critical requirements to chance. So how can you be assured that the DPI capabilities in your network infrastructure can withstand high traffic levels and massive, live attacks common in real-world implementations?

BreakingPoint Actionable Security Intelligence (ASI) solutions let you create extreme levels of application traffic and malicious attacks for testing DPI-enabled devices under real-world conditions. Measuring and reporting the effects of stress vectors on DPI devices over time, BreakingPoint solutions demonstrate the limits of each device’s performance while taxing DPI functionality to provide a clear picture of any weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

With BreakingPoint ASI solutions for DPI testing, you will:

• Create customized traffic mixes from more than 160+ real-world application protocols to validate a DPI device’s ability to recognize and act on particular traffic
• Draw from more than 4,500 live security attacks and 34,000+ pieces of malware to ensure that a DPI device can mitigate malicious traffic, even when subjected to obfuscations or evasions
• Recreate the behavior of millions of concurrent users to understand how a DPI-capable device will perform under extreme stress
