Application Performance Testing Solution 

Understanding network performance is crucial for today’s demanding business environments. Users today demand high-access and failsafe networks. Proactively testing content aware network devices is now more accessible than ever with the Spirent CF30 CyberFlood testing platform. Spirent’s CF30 is sized right and feature rich to meet very demanding performance testing needs. The CF30 is a fully self-contained solution with a built-in web-based test controller to manage test cases and assets. Users can generate vast amounts of high-fidelity encrypted and mixed application traffic profiles at scale, enabling versatile use in enterprise, data center, and service provider network validation.

Features & Benefits

• Ease of Use—Extremely easy to use and highly intuitive graphical user-interface that allows for difficult configurations to be set up instantly. From setting up global IPs from a world view map to drag and drop protocols, CyberFlood makes performance testing easy. The CF30 also offers a reduction in deployment and management complexity with its easy out-of-box setup.

• Economical—Access the power of CyberFlood with the right features, performance and capabilities in a cost-effective, low-profile package without comprising on performance. In addition, there is a reduction in cost of ownership due to smaller requirements for rack space, power and cooling.

• Network Performance Testing—Provides extensive Layer 4-7 testing for network performance, capacity, and connectivity. Using tens of thousands of ready-to-run performance tests for a wide range of popular applications, including peer- to-peer (P2P), Business, Instant messaging (IM), and Social Media, users can test:

– Policy Enforcement for QoS Application-aware systems, such as DPI engines, application firewalls, and mobile packet gateways

– The effectiveness of DPI, IPS/IDS, ALG, UTM systems, evaluating their performance under real-world traffic conditions

– Advanced NGFW and SD-WAN/SASE inspection capabilities and capacities using SSL/SNI support – IPSec & SSL VPN capacities including tunnel setup, maximum tunnels, and data rates over encrypted tunnel for remote access and site to site use cases.

• Applications—With CyberFlood, users can quickly and easily test with the latest and most popular applications (updated continuously) with unparalleled realism and scalability. Users can push their solutions to the limit while ensuring the infrastructure will stand up to real-world demands.

• Power and Performance—The right performance and scale: The CF30 provides the right performance profile to effectively exercise networks to find maximum user connectivity and application traffic throughput capabilities, with over 75Gbps of HTTP and 35Gbps of HTTPS traffic generation capabilities.

• Cross Compatibility—The CF30 offers test compatibility with other CyberFlood platforms, providing maximum flexibility for running CyberFlood tests across a multitude of available platforms for virtual, cloud and hardware-based environments.

• Avalanche Software Support—Run the full breadth of Avalanche software on the CF30, providing maximum flexibility and test coverage.

• NetSecOPEN Tests Built-In—NetSecOPEN is a networking industry group where networking vendors, tool vendors, labs and enterprises collaborate to create open and transparent testing standards for today’s modern contentaware solutions.

• Automatic Goal Seeking—Determine maximum capabilities of a device with minimal user interaction.

• Realistic Web Testing—Use web-capture capabilities to import and replay recorded sessions of complex website interactions and traffic to validate performance and comprehensive application policies.
