Network Security

Test. Improve. Repeat.

Balancing the need for enforcing security with the need to quickly provide access to network resources “anywhere, anytime” and from any device is a huge challenge.

Xena offers a range of cost-effective traffic generation and analysis solutions that help manufacturers, service providers and IT managers to solve this equation by making it easy to test and troubleshoot the performance of network devices, validate regulatory compliance and clearly document the results.

Testing VNF

This White Paper demonstrates how the goals listed above can be achieved using Xena’s stateless traffic generator on configurations orchestrated by CNLabs NFV Test Framework. The open source firewall pfSense is used as the Virtual Network Function.

Testing NGFWs

To rigorously test the performance of next generation firewalls (NGFWs), it is no longer enough to bombard them with dummy traffic.

Emulation vs. Simulation for Layer 4-7

Testing with realistic application emulation is about emulating network traffic that contains realistic traffic patterns and content. Which is essential for providing guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS), and high degrees of Quality-of-Experience (QoE).
