How-to Move Beyond DPI Testing

Deterministically Measure the Resiliency of Your Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Device Against Crippling Attack and High-Stress Application Load

 

Legacy testing tools simply can not assess DPI-capable network devices. The reason is simple. Legacy testing tools simply blast bits at megabit per second speeds. DPI allows network devices such as content-aware switches and routers, next-generation Firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and application delivery controllers to inspect and take action based on the contents and context of packets as they travel across the network. If you are using legacy testing techniques to validate the performance of DPI-capable devices you are simply not getting useful results and you will deploy equipment that may not be ready for the real-world.

Moving Beyond DPI Testing: BreakingPoint Storm CTM™

Cyber Tomography Machines (CTMs) use a scientific method to identify the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of a DPI-capable network device. By emitting high-speed application and malicious traffic into any DPI-capable device the BreakingPoint Storm CTM™ can accurately measure the true performance and security of the device. The BreakingPoint Storm CTM provides users with hundreds of performance and security simulation features, including hundreds of real-world application protocols, thousands of the latest security attacks and emulates millions of users. The BreakingPoint Storm CTM allows enterprises, government organizations, service providers and equipment vendors to put their DPI-capable device through the paces of a real-world network and be confident that it will work when deployed.
