BreakingPoint Elite evaluation
I’ve been looking forward to evaluating BreakingPoint’s Elite system for some time. Over a year ago, I had the chance to see their previous system, the 10K, but at the time it couldn’t test the device that my company makes, so we moved on.
We have the Elite in house now, and so far it’s interesting. So far the evaluation is going well – I’m on my own much of this week (by design) to fumble around and find the different things I’m interested in. So far I have successful connection per second and throughput tests going through our device under test, and have fiddled with a bunch of the options to tune things exactly the way I want.
There’s a lot left to figure out – perhaps I’ll post some of my thoughts later this week after we’re done.
any update on the breaking point systems traffic generation tools’ performacne numbers?
say, per card/blade, how much performance are you seeing?
also, it would be nice to get information about the pricing details of this tool
There are a lot of different metrics that you could list for the query you have – and it really is dependent on configuration and options. We saw all sorts of numbers in our evaluation, and worked with the BreakingPoint folks to optimize our settings.
As for pricing, I think that’s something to approach the BreakingPoint folks about as well. I think they have general information in various places on the web.
