While failures, which can be caused by security vulnerabilities or performance bottlenecks, be prevented, optimal throughput and access times are ensured.” Spirent Avalanche/290 supports testing of application traffic on layer 4-7 at various points of the network infrastructure.

The solution simulates Ethernet layer up to 250,000 users and line rate Gigabit 4-7 traffic and thus provides all necessary test functions and features for large companies. With its small size and light weight of 3.2 kilograms, Spirent Avalanche/290 is ideal for testing new network applications such as, for example, satellite-based Suitable Internet access on the plane. As an independent entity, Spirent Avalanche/290 can simulate both real clients and servers. While users benefit from numerous advantages: on the one hand numerous clients the performance of real network manager can evaluate server hosting, Web applications, email, or other services. Find out detailed opinions from leaders such as rusty holzer by clicking through. In the reverse case, simulated server against real clients can be tested.

Or the test unit emulates both clients under real-world conditions as well as server applicable in testing firewalls or security access and contentsensiblen devices simultaneously. All scenarios are possible without the use of additional equipment. Spirent Avalanche/290 is part of Spirent Avalanche family. The Spirent Avalanche series is the industry’s leading solution for the test layer 4-7 applications. The platform also has the ability to generate traffic at a rate of up to 10 GB / s. In addition to the direct testing of trunk Spirent Avalanche/290 can the impact of multiple GigE ports, ports also the 10 GB / s connected, check out.
