Features & Benefits

• >400 Gbps Stateful Application Traffic – Provides the capability to generate over 400 Gbps of stateful Layer 4-7 traffic. Each CF400 supports high-density 8 x 100G interfaces with multi-speed fan-out options.

• Performance Testing Software – Includes HTTP/HTTPS Throughput, HTTP/HTTPS CPS, HTTP/HTTPS Concurrent Connections, DNS, Throughput with Mixed Traffic (default protocols), Advanced Mixed Traffic, and Network Traffic Replay test methodologies

• Flexible Software Options – Providing a web-based, easy-to-use, yet powerful testing tool, and with Avalanche for advanced, directed one-ended and two-ended testing.

• Automatic Goal Seeking – Determines the maximum capabilities of a device with minimal user interaction.

• Throughput with Mixed Traffic – Allows users to create and execute tests with preconfigured traffic mixes to achieve high throughput HTTPS/TLS encryption, or easily create custom mixes from a database of tens of thousands of application scenarios.

• Advanced Mixed Traffic Assessment – Create custom and highly configurable tests and assessments with user action lists that execute a set of user application interactions for HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, FTP, DNS over TLS and HTTPS, and other protocols

• Full support for HTTP/3 – Supports test creation using next-generation web protocols, including the industry’s only full support for HTTP/3.

• Network Devices Performance Testing – Provides performance and capacity testing on a variety of network devices including Firewall, Application Firewall, Load Balancer, SD-WAN, SASE, Cache, Proxy, URL Filter, Content Filter, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Reverse-Proxy, SSL Accelerator, HTTP/HTTPS Accelerator, WAN Accelerators, SMTP Relay, IDS/IPS, and IPSec VPN Gateway.

• Application Server Performance Testing – Validates the performance of several types of real services including Web, CIFS, Application Services, Email, DHCP, FTP, DNS, RTSP/RTP QuickTime Streaming, Multicast, RTMP, HTTP ABR, and more.

• Performance Operation Modes – Makes it easy to change the CF400 mode of operation to adjust CPU and memory allocation behind test interfaces, providing maximum flexibility for a variety of performance and use case options.

• Reliability Testing – Supports long duration soak tests with the TestCloud application load to ensure solutions work at high capacity for long periods of time.

• VPN Testing – Validates IPSec and SSL VPN* capacities including tunnel setup, maximum tunnels, and data rates over encrypted tunnels for remote access and site-to-site use cases.

• Realistic Web Testing – Uses web-capture capabilities to import and replay recorded sessions of complex website interactions and traffic to validate performance and comprehensive application policies. 

Interfaces

• 8 x 100G QSFP28 interfaces with 10G, 25G, 40G and 50G break-out support
