Key features
For product development teams
With many business services moving to the cloud, it’s important to understand the impact on customers and end-users. Spirent solutions enable you to test the performance, scalability and security of your cloud-based applications in a wide range of planned and unplanned scenarios.
This solution provides real-world NAS testing scenarios to ensure that the performance, availability, security and scalability criteria of the solutions are met with before data center deployment.
Understand the performance impact and accuracy of CIFS in actual application.
CIFS is a widely used file access protocol for content and device sharing across networks. As a protocol used for the distribution of content either locally or across WAN links it is imperative to understand the performance impact and accuracy of CIFS in actual application.
Pinpoint how well DHCP services perform—DHCP can be added to tests to poll IP addresses in advanced L4-7.
DHCP has long been used to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connecting to Corporate and Service Provider networks. DHCP services are under constant stress with users and devices connecting and disconnecting. During busy hours this stress can overwhelm edge resources that are responsible for managing DHCP services that can disrupt user network and application access.
Enables Network Equipment Manufacturers, Service Providers and Enterprise customers realistic testing of their IPSec VPN gateways.
Spirent Avalanche’s IPSec feature provides complete performance assessment of IPSec gateways to quickly understand and correct deficiencies before deployment. The use of real application protocols over encrypted tunnels is the best way to truly understand the gateway’s effect on user experience.
Provides a full breadth of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing options along with access, applications protocol and attack traffic for testing IPv6.
Spirent Avalanche provides a full breadth of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing options along with access, applications protocol and attack traffic for a robust solution set for testing IPv6 protocols and applications.
Designed for testing the GTP-tunneled component of devices located in any 3GPP mobile packet core.
Spirent Avalanche supports the testing of any device in the network that operates on user application streams embedded within a GTP-tunneled mobile packet core interface. The Avalanche GTP tunneling feature is specifically designed for testing the GTP-tunneled component of firewalls, DPI engines, load balancers, or video offload gateways located within any 3GPP Mobile Packet Core.
The Avalanche Scalable Application Playback Emulation Engine (SAPEE) provides the ability to configure, modify, and magnify virtually any application layer network traffic.
With SAPEE you can replay captured protocols across a system or device under test to evaluate overall capacities, error-handling, effectiveness of (QoS) and (QoE) mechanisms, and other capabilities. SAPEE allows you to blend custom stateful and proprietary protocols into a test alongside other natively-supported protocols and attack traffic.
New high performance rate capabilities for Avalanche and the C100.
Today’s high-end and carrier class firewalls, gateways, proxies and other network elements required to hold stateful connections have grown exponentially over the years. In order to test the true capacities of these devices, you need a tester that can target and exercise these services at extreme connection rates.

This testing solution provides scalability, performance, functional, and interoperability testing of Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming video servers and video delivery networks to ensure the Internet will support bandwidth-consuming video traffic.
Video over IP represents an ever growing percentage of Internet and mobile data. HTTP Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) technologies deliver a seamless video viewing experience by adapting to bandwidth constraints and endpoints resources.
This comprehensive test solution provides Real-Time IPTV Analysis System allowing NEMs and Service Providers to assess more than ninety metrics related to delivering high quality IPTV.
Telephone companies worldwide are supplementing their revenue from legacy voice and data with added services such as IPTV. IPTV is the most critical area since it is the most sensitive to network conditions, requires the most bandwidth, and offers the highest revenue potential.

When employees connect their mobile devices to the corporate network the security implications are potentially staggering.
According to a 2013 Ovum employee study, more than 60% of employees bring their own devices to work (e.g., smartphones, tablets, personal laptops) and access corporate resources with them regardless of corporate policies. From the corporate IT perspective, this means hundreds or thousands of unauthorized devices inside the organization—running unvetted code of unknown quality or intent—have access to the corporate network.
Malware threats in 2015 increased 43% compared to the same period in 2014. Understand the impact of not testing to network security.
Malware, which is short for malicious software, describes a broad category of hostile software that is used to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer systems. Testing networks and computer systems has never been more critical.
How to select an application-aware testing solution to effectively test the scalability, functionality and security of today’s intelligent networks.
This white paper helps explain the true value of network security, the importance of testing and how to determine the proper tools.
It’s easy to see how big this issue is when the cost of businesses exposing data such as Social Security and credit-card numbers climbed 7% last year to an average of $7.2 million per incident.
