Network Performance Testing

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.
