Multicast Security and Performance Testing

Simulate tens of thousands of concurrent multicast streams to optimize critical communications and data networks

Corporations and government agencies rely on multicast systems to deliver critical video, voice, and data for financial exchanges, military communications, and other content delivery networks. While IP multicast has allowed faster and more efficient distribution of network traffic and a more effective use of network bandwidth, it can often become unreliable when faced with heavy usage or unique application traffic. How can you test how these business-critical multicast systems will perform under real-world conditions before you choose your equipment or roll out new applications?

Breaking Point Actionable Security Intelligence (ASI) solutions enable you to create a multicast test lab to quickly simulate tens of thousands of concurrent subscribers receiving real-world multicast application traffic. Using a variety of preconfigured interfaces, you can create the high volume of application traffic needed to measure the overall performance, latency, and scalability of your multicast system—and ensure that it can keep up with growing bandwidth demands.

With BreakingPoint multicast testing solutions, you can:

• Measure the overall performance, latency, and scalability of multicast systems
• Reduce complexity and time-to-test for validating multicast equipment
• Accurately model multicast systems and emulate independent clients and servers
• Process communications with IGMP v1/v2/v3 languages and standard multicast routing infrastructures such as PIM-DM, PIM-SM, DIDIR-PIM and SSM
