Abstract

BreakingPoint Systems, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its BPS-1000 network test tool. The BPS-1000 can create traffic scenarios from Layer 2 through Layer 7. It can simultaneously generate TCP sessions, application traffic and attack traffic to test a product’s performance and security coverage effectively.

Tolly Group engineers conducted focused examinations of the seven major components of the BPS-1000 test tool: Bit Blaster, Routing Robot, Session Sender, Security, App Sim, Stack Scrambler and Recreate.

Engineers ran a battery of tests and feature validation exercises on the BPS-1000 to understand with greater depth the capabilities that the system provides to users. The Tolly Group conducted a comprehensive hands-on examination of the BPS-1000 from September through October 2007
