BreakingPoint Systems provide all-in-one test solutions designed specifically for the challenge of content-aware networks and network equipment. The systems architecture of the BPS range allows generation of exceptionally high volumes of test traffic with unprecedented control of the traffic mix from Layer 2 to Layer 7 to give the most realistic test of how systems perform under stress. The BPS range makes it easy to generate defined realistic mixes of stateful converged application traffic with simultaneous security attacks on the same interface.

More than 75 application protocols, 4,200 live security attacks and 80 evasion techniques are included as standard with weekly updates. The BreakingPoint architecture also provides the accurate high performance needed for 10Gig testing at the application layer - a single blade having the ability to generate and maintain up to 15 million simultaneous TCP sessions, 1.5 million new TCP sessions per second, 20 gigabits per second of Layer 4-7 traffic and 40 Gigabits per second of Layer 2-3 traffic.

Applications

BreakingPoint test solutions are used for comprehensive testing of content-aware devices and systems. The diagram above summarizes how BreakingPoint provides a one-box solution for simulation of both client and server and blended good, bad and malicious traffic. The diagram also shows a unique feature, the ability to monitor, control and integrate the management interface of the DUT (Device Under Test). For the first time, a test engineer is able to stress test a device and directly observe and integrate the device's reaction to that stress.
