Performance Testing for IP Services and Systems

Network Verification - Network Performance Testing

Networks continue to converge with new business critical applications being added and all carried onto a single network, carrying voice, video and data on wired and wireless networks.   The performance of these applications is key to today’s competitive business environment.   Application failures or degraded response time can result in a significant cost as reduced revenue, lost customers or negative publicity.

Risk Associated with Adding New Applications or Infrastructure

•  How will this application or change perform on my network
•  How will it affect network traffic and the performance of my existing applications
•  Is my infrastructure capable of handling this infrastructure

Performance Testing Reduces Risk of Deploying New Technology

By validating that the application will perform correctly to fulfill business requirements prior to deployment.

Network Load Testing

Load testing allows you to run realistic and “worst-case” testing scenarios in a controlled way, so you know how the application will perform under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions.   By simulating the traffic on the production environment at high load you will understand how the current configuration will stand up to real-time user stress.  This allows the system or devices to be modified, pre-deployment and updated to appropriately meet the needs of end users.  Stress and load testing products focus on the network or application performance and may need to be integrated with other test tools such as WAN Emulators or Application Analyzers

Benefits of Network Performance Testing

•  Recognize network problems before your customers do!
•  Keep your development projects on time!
•  Test your development projects and then monitoring your systems for errors.
•  Verify system meets specification claimed by the manufacturer
•  By optimizing the production environment before rollout, you end up with higher user uptake.
•  Smoother rollout for the user
•  Increased adoption rates of the new application

LANforge Fire Network Traffic Generator for Network Testing, Validation and Audit

Traffic Generation for 100Mbps, 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit

LANforge Fire Traffic Generator simulates the edge of the network under test. LANforge FIRE can generate FTP, HTTP, VoIP (SIP, RTP, RTCP), TCP/IP, UDP/IP, Ethernet and custom payloads. It supports 802.1Q VLANs, and can also emulate 250 to several thousand Ethernet interfaces with unique MAC and IP addresses, allowing a single LANforge machine to appear as an entire subnet of machines.

With the Armageddon feature, LANforge Fire can generate and receive traffic up to 99% of the interface (100Mbps, 1 Gig and 10 Gig).

For VoIP testing, LANforge Fire generates SIP messaging protocol, and can generate the RTP media stream traffic as well.

LANforge WiFire can emulate from 31 to 400 802.11a/b/g/n wireless sessions

IQ-Service: Contact Center Load Testing – Go Live with Confidence

Deploying new systems within the contact center such as upgrading a PBX, VoIP, installing an IVR, or modifying existing application software, you need to be absolutely certain that these solutions will perform as you expect - before you go "live."

These systems are built on hardware and software infrastructures that are highly integrated, and for them to be successful the technology must be efficient and reliable in design and performance.  If these integrated systems do not work as designed this can increase the frustration of your customer decreasing the ROI of your new deployment.
