Agilent NetworkTester IP Test Solution

Emulates realistic mixes of Voice, Video Data, P2P on one interface Simultaneously emulates multiple Denial of Service (DoS) attacks to measure performance degradation. Creates stateful traffic without scripting over integrated IPsec, IPsecv6, PPPoE, DHCP, 802.1x and VLANs. Generates scaled-up traffic to emulate tens of thousands of real clients and servers to measure ultimate capacity and performance under load Reports multiple real-time QoE statistics for multiple services. Gives a more accurate, holistic view into service performance of the device under test. Overview The Agilent NetworkTester is probably the most powerful and flexible solution for testing the performance of Layer 4-7 devices and services. Network equipment manufacturers, Service providers and network operators can thoroughly characterize performance of application-aware security devices and systems. This ensures network equipment can handle the volatility and variability of real-world application traffic. NetworkTester creates a realistic mix of application traffic through its unique ability to simultaneously emulate real voice, video, data and multiple DOS, spam and virus attacks on a single test port. Coupled with the ability to simulate proprietary protocols like P2P, gaming and IM, NetworkTester accelerates development and deployment of connection and content aware devices. Key Features Broad range of protocol bricks Integrated emulation of protocols such as IPsec, IPsecv6, DHCP, PPPoE, 802.1X, HTTP, FTP, SMTP Client and server emulation One system, one user interface Simulate millions of real users and services Powerful "Test Plan" design and management environment Set-up tests in minutes; no need for scripting! Stateful traffic over integrated IPSec , IPsecv6 , PPPoE , DHCP and 802.1x Integrated access protocols for faster and easier test set-up Integrated VLAN support Rapidly test VLAN-capable devices and virtual firewalls Transaction Variability and Real-Time Control Randomize and cycle parameters such as address lists, and attach real files Dynamically change parameters while the test is running Integrated IPv6 support Rapidly test next-generation IPv6 and IPsecv6 devices and networks Over 150 real-time statistics Correlate measurements and characterize system performance Scaleable for realistic large scale testing Highly configurable with a typical system consisting of a System Controller, System Management Switch and a number of N4190/N4191 Traffic Modules. Cost effective software licensing Software licencing is per System Controller and supports multiple users, local or remote. Supported Applications and Devices NetworkTester is designed to test the layer 4-7 capabilities of devices and networks, including security networking and content switching devices. Here is a list of just some of the protocols and devices that NetworkTester can test. New protocol emulations are being added continually, so if you have a specific request, please ask.  Application / service protocol emulation  Access protocols -- fully integrated Utility protocol emulation Web and news: HTTP 1.0 & 1.1; HTTPS (SSLv2/3); NNTP Email, messaging and multimedia: POP3; SMTP; IM (Jabber); RTSP; RTP/RTCP File transfer and print sharing: FTP (active & passive); NFS; SAMBA Management plane: SNMP VoIP: SIP; H.323                                                                          802.1X DHCP IPsec IPsecv6 PPPoE                                                      DNS PING Telnet Traceroute                                 Attack protocol bricks -- the building blocks for DoS attacks  Layer 4 (transport protocols) -- fully integrated  Layer 3 and 2 protocols -- fully integrated IP Attack ICMP Attack TCP Attack UDP Attack TCP UDP IPv4 IPv6 802.1Q/VLAN   Supported device types IPv6-capable layer 4-7 devices Firewalls and firewall routers Intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems Integrated security gateways Virus, spam, web and mail filters VPN concentrators Content switches, filters, caches and servers SSL accelerators Load Balancers Multi-function, connection or session aware switches and routers Application Notes Agilent N2X is ideally suited to many different test applications and helps accelerate the development and deployment of a wide range of current and emerging network technologies.
