Spirent Launches HyperMetrics

Spirent Communications plc , has launched the HyperMetrics(TM) family of modules on the Spirent TestCenter platform. HyperMetrics has a multi-core architecture that addresses port density as well as the critical aspect of realism required to ensure Quality of Experience (QoE) for new services helping to maximize return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) throughout the test lifecycle.

"With the evolution to intelligent content aware networks, service providers and network equipment manufacturers need to furnish tools and functions to plan, measure, monitor, and assure evolving traffic patterns, new services, and optimized application performance," said Michael Howard, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "This is not an easy task -- it means that increasing port density or adding new protocols is necessary but clearly not sufficient for test engineers. What's required are realistic network environments representing the end-to-end complex conditions of next-gen IP networks including aspects such as scalability and performance."

Traditionally, test solutions focused on a single dimension of either port density or Layer 2-3 network emulation or Layer 4-7 application performance. As a result, the customer's initial investment was limited only to a specific test in the development cycle. As network elements and services become more sophisticated, they require testing beyond Layer 2-3 considerations of throughput, latency and loss to include QoE measurements (Layer 4-7).

HyperMetrics' high density, multi-core architecture delivers enhanced realism with scalability and performance along with the capability to reallocate processing power to conduct complex yet realistic testing. The emphasis on performance and application realism rather than just port density enables test engineers to invest in a single solution for all their testing needs ultimately reducing capital expenses, while staying within limited operational budgets.

"As the testing standard for tomorrow's networks, Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics goes beyond advanced functionality to include investment protection," said Tim Jefferson, general manager, Converged Core Solutions group at Spirent Communications. "In this tough economic environment our customers require a solution that allows them to test to new levels of enhanced realism with scalability and performance."

The Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics modules are designed to offer network equipment manufacturers and service providers a robust and scalable test platform with a flexible user experience for conducting end-to-end Layer 2-7 multi-play testing at gigabit or 10gigabit line rates. The modules, available in a variety of port densities, include the HyperMetrics Converged (CV), HyperMetrics Converged Multi-play (CM) and HyperMetrics Application Performance (AP) modules.

Tektronix In VESA Compliance

Tektronix, Inc. a leading, worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced that the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has approved the Tektronix solution for testing DisplayPort interconnect cables as documented in a Methods of Implementation (MOI) -- the first MOI in the industry for DisplayPort 1.1 cable testing. The Tektronix methodology eliminates the need for expensive and complicated instruments promoted by alternative solutions. The new MOI and complete Tektronix DisplayPort test offering can be viewed at http://www.tek.com/displayport.

DisplayPort is the new digital display interface technology for computers, monitors and home-theater systems aimed at lower implementation costs and improved video performance. DisplayPort gives manufacturers of LCD panels, monitors, graphics cards, PC chipsets, projectors, peripherals, components, cables, and consumer electronics a next generation digital interface that is designed to replace LVDS, DVI, and eventually VGA.

The Tektronix interconnect MOI specifies a DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and TDR/TDT and S-Parameter support through iConnect(R) software. This is the only approved single instrument DisplayPort interconnect test solution in the market for passive cables. Testing active cables additionally requires an AWG7102 Arbitrary Waveform Generator and 80SJNB jitter analysis software. Unlike alternative solutions that require expensive, complex instruments and setups the Tektronix configurations efficiently ensure a readable signal reaches the receiver.

"The Tektronix approach successfully performed the needed DisplayPort cable tests," said Doron Lapidot, director of engineering, Circuit & Design Asia Pacific and EMEA, Tyco Electronics. "The Tektronix solution provides the needed compliance testing with reduced cost and complexity. We've selected this option as part of our DisplayPort interconnect testing procedures."

"The DSA8200 measurement system provides channel characterization with TDR/TDT and S-Parameter support," said Ian Valentine, general manager, Technology Solutions Group, Tektronix. "The acceptance of our DisplayPort cable test solution for interconnect testing by VESA and adoption by forward-looking organizations like Tyco Electronics demonstrate the utility and cost-effective advantages of the Tektronix tools and methodology."

Tektronix has received VESA certification for source, cable, and sink compliance test solutions. "Tektronix is recognized around the world for its leadership in test solutions including DisplayPort," said Bill Lempesis, executive director, VESA. "These tools enable companies to efficiently test their designs, helping to expedite compliance with the DisplayPort standard. The efforts of Tektronix increase the overall set of tools that companies have available to assist in DisplayPort development and industry adoption."

Proxy Sniffer

Perform professional load tests and obtain a wide range of informative diagrams and statistics about the response time behavior, the throughput, and the stability of your web application.

The provider is David Fischer GmbH

Features:

Universal HTTP/S Proxy-Recorder
The universal proxy-recorder supports to record web surfing sessions with any web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari ...). Also Ajax calls as well as XML/SOAP messages can be recorded.

High-Performance GUI
Recorded web surfing sessions can be functionally enhanced using the GUI with a few mouse clicks. Additional requirements, such as logons with individual user accounts, or the handling of dynamically-exchanged session parameters, can be efficiently implemented in a short time.

Unlimited Scalability - Simulating Thousands of Users
Depending on the test scenario, hundreds of web users can already be simulated by only one load-releasing computer. The scalable architecture of the product supports additionally an unlimited load generation with thousands of users by a simple combination of several Windows and/or Unix systems to a homogeneous, load-releasing cluster.

Realistic Test Scenarios
Several load tests can be run simultaneously. Multiple client IP addresses can be configured for each load-releasing system, allowing a web application cluster with a load balancer to be stressed in a realistic way. The network bandwidth for each simulated user can be reduced in order to simulate slow access connections.

Support for all Current Authentication Methods
Proxy Sniffer supports logging in to web applications with HTML form parameters as well as with HTTP basic authentication (username/password pop-up window), NTLM authentication (Windows domain accounts) and X509 client certificates (PKCS#12). Each simulated user can be allocated an individual login account.

Real Emulation of Web Surfing Sessions
Together with the automatic support of session cookies Proxy Sniffer offers also to handle dynamically exchanged session parameters efficiently: e.g. hidden form parameter, .NET VIEWSTATE parameter und J2EE URL rewriting parameter.

Automatic Protection from "false positive" Measurement Results
During a load test, Proxy Sniffer compares the content of the received response with the content of the originally recorded response using a unique heuristic algorithm. This powerful feature allows the detection of errors at the application level (malformed web pages) - even when a web page with a correct HTTP response code is returned. This protection against "false positive" measurement results is automatically provided in each load test.

Real-Time Statistics and Real-Time Error Analysis
During a load test, an overview of the measured response times for all web pages and their URLs is displayed in real-time, in addition to the display of the current activity of all simulated users and all errors which have occurred. Furthermore, all error details can be shown and analyzed in real-time during a running load test.

Detailed Measurement Results
After the end of every test, there are up to 18 different diagrams and statistics available. From these results, a complete formatted test report can be created as a PDF document. Results of different test runs can be compared to each other, allowing the efficacy of tuning measures to be evaluated, and to visualize the response time behavior of the web application under different load conditions.

Support for Windows and Unix-Like Operating Systems
Proxy Sniffer can be deployed on Windows XP/2003/Vista systems as well as on all Unix-like systems such as Solaris, Linux, BSD and Mac OS
