BreakingPoint Expands Testing Capabilities With More Than 30 New Features to Ensure the Resiliency of Network Devices and Application Servers
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/26/09 --
BreakingPoint has introduced the latest version
of the BreakingPoint Elite
testing tool, including more than 30 new features that significantly
expand testing capabilities, trim hours from test configuration and
reporting, and accelerate device debugging. The new upgrade is available
instantly to current BreakingPoint customers and positions BreakingPoint
Elite as the most advanced application, performance and security testing
tool available today.
BreakingPoint Elite updated features and functionality include:
BreakingPoint First to Deliver Dual Stack IPv4/IPv6 Testing Capabilities
and Support for Current IPv6 Standards
-- BreakingPoint is now the exclusive provider of resiliency testing using
current IPv6 traffic to simulate true global network traffic. BreakingPoint
has the unique ability to generate blended stateful application traffic
mixed with live security attacks at line-rate speeds and high session
counts, delivered from the same address space.
-- BreakingPoint IPv6 dual stack testing is the industry's most comprehensive
and up to date IPv6 capable testing, allowing Network Equipment
Manufacturers (NEMs), service providers and application server suppliers
to:
- Simulate IPv6 traffic through each BreakingPoint testing component
including Client Simulator for load testing IPv6 capable application
servers.
- Enhance Layer 4-7 performance with more than 80 blended IPv6 native
application protocols.
- Authenticate security with more than 4,200 IPv6 capable security strikes.
- Ensure compliance with the latest IPv6 standards.
- Validate real-world performance by blending IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
- Reduce time-to-test through importing of IPv6 traffic captures.

BreakingPoint Adds Pioneering Features for Debugging 10GigE Devices
-- The largest capture history buffer with 8 Gigabytes per blade to reduce
the time it takes to debug network equipment and application servers.
-- Advanced filtering of packet captures to capture and report on only the
data needed, including:
- Post-processing ability to compress the capture export, even allowing the
user to specify start and end frames.
- Berkley Packet Filter (BPF) capability to isolate traffic by IP address,
port, protocol and more; the same format used for libpcap.
- Ingress pre-processing filtering parameters based on VLAN ID, Source IP,
Destination IP, Source Port and Destination Port.
-- The ability to incorporate data originating from a real network into
tests, replaying stateful traffic using the TCP stack, including three-way
handshakes and any necessary retransmissions. This includes raw playback of
traffic to test for common issues with ARP, RARP, TCP/UDP headers, TCP SYN
floods, DDoS, invalid packets and more.

BreakingPoint Pattern Matching for Full Data Validation of Network Security
Devices
-- BreakingPoint regular expression pattern matching validates traffic
flows utilizing a user-defined data pattern by comparing that pattern
against incoming network traffic.
-- QA and R&D can quickly identify sequence errors and data errors in a
network device or application server, including validation that the network
equipment is generating the appropriate network traffic.
-- BreakingPoint Elite supports PERL Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE),
a standardized way of matching text strings from a larger text base. PCRE
allow users to match substrings in data packets, as well as provide the
ability to store the matched data for future use.
BreakingPoint Impairment Support for Realistic Wide-Area Network (WAN)
Simulation
-- Support for simulating impairments within IP traffic for realistic WAN
simulation.
-- Configure impairments within BreakingPoint Elite Network Neighborhood
and easily replicate and fine-tune for any device under test (DUT).
BreakingPoint Enhances Test
Automation, Reporting and Layer 2/3 Testing Capabilities
-- More extensive test automation including Attack Plan Iteration that
enables security testers to loop security attacks.
-- Numerous Layer 2/3 testing capabilities including UDP and enhanced HTTP
support in Session Sender, addressing expansion, stateless TCP in Routing
Robot and expanded frame sizes.
-- Extensive reporting enhancements including the ability to customize
content to be included in reports, and export in additional formats.
The updated BreakingPoint Elite includes dozens more features and is
available instantly for current users.
