In an industry first, Spirent TestCenter
reveals anticipated real-world app performance and stability with
full-stack Layer 2 to Layer 7 testing in one unified platform
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the trusted provider of
test, measurement, assurance and analytics solutions for
next-generation devices and networks, today announced an industry
first in application testing. A new enhancement to the Spirent
TestCenter solution now enables full-stack Layer 2 to Layer 7
testing in a single unified platform. This new functionality
provides much greater visibility into how business-critical
applications perform in complex networks and offers important new
insights into the anticipated app performance, stability and actual
Quality of Experience (QoE) being delivered to end users.
“Until now, testing could only occur in layer silos with a focus
on the device, but with cloud-based apps generating substantial
traffic and new latency challenges, the game has changed for
measuring an application’s true performance capabilities,” said
Spirent Marketing Director for Cloud & IP, Malathi Malla. “By
unifying how Quality of Experience is tested and emulating
real-world cloud services between endpoints to validate network
equipment performance, we are taking the onus off our customers to
make inferences about how applications will perform, and addressing
critical blind spots that have existed in predicting how apps will
perform in complex network environments.”
A new wave of devices connected to the internet, and heavy
social and streaming media content are causing the highest-ever
bandwidth demands on provider networks. At the same time,
enterprises are moving to wireless local area networks (WLAN) for
on-premise connectivity and cloud-based services for productivity
applications. As a result, operators, network equipment and device
manufacturers and enterprises are demanding real-time traffic
testing use cases to ensure QoE.
The latest enhancement to Spirent TestCenter assures QoE and
Quality of Service (QoS) by allowing users to test across the full
Layer 2 to Layer 7 stack with emulated topologies and Wi-Fi 6
(802.11ax) interfaces, measuring traditional packet and Service
Level Agreement (SLA)-specific metrics. Spirent TestCenter can now
generate a full stack mix of application traffic, combining
existing Layer 2-3 capabilities with robust topology emulation and
enhanced Layer 4-7 stateful application traffic generation. The
resulting unified view gives unparalleled insight into how leading
streaming and sharing applications will perform based on expected
network flows.
“We can only help assure our customers are delivering the best
experiences if we help them see the full picture when it comes to
quality,” said Malla. “From the core network to the user’s hand,
Spirent’s testing advancements are focused on being everywhere that
a threat to user quality exists. We are focused on helping guide
the important decisions our customers make when tuning networks,
equipment, devices and services to deliver the best performance
possible.”
The enhanced Spirent TestCenter solution also leverages Spirent
TestCenter IQ for the integration of error events and results data,
providing additional performance insights through consolidated,
real-time monitoring and correlation for in-depth analysis of
system behavior.
