Frequently Asked Questions

Protocol testing allows validation of devices, networks, and services. Tests are run against a set of specifications that are set by industry standards organizations such as IEEE and IETF to ensure that network devices are interoperable.

Protocol load test ensures that the protocols supported by a device under test (DUT) work properly under conditions such as line rate (maximum rate for packet forwarding) and small/large packet size to ensure that applications that use the protocols can meet the performance objectives.

Network load testing verifies that a computer network can support necessary applications to meet required service level agreements (SLAs). This applies to wired and wireless networks, with applications spanning data, voice, video, storage, VPNs, ….
