It's a good general-purpose testing device, and it shines on the security testing front. You'll need to stay on top of updates, because the effectiveness of its security testing depends on having the latest attacks. Also, if you turn the appliance full throttle, you may have trouble finding another vendor's device to verify the performance of the BPS-1000.
TAKING TESTS
The BPS-1000 is extremely easy to deploy. Running basic canned tests is also effortless. For example, Quick Tests (see figure) let you run or edit a preprogrammed test. To initiate the test, just click on "Accept." If you choose to build your own test, you can do it with a significant level of granularity.
And rather than just pumping dummy bits through the pipes, the product can capture live traffic from your network and then reply and amplify that traffic. You can add background traffic from app servers and VoIP servers as well as other devices. Replaying real-world traffic gives you a better sense of how your infrastructure will stand up to traffic loads than simulated packets.
In addition to capturing live traffic the BPS-1000 can generate Ethernet frames and IT packets, send valid TCP sessions, and generate realistic application flows. It should go without saying that you don't deploy the BPS-1000 in a production environment. By design, it would wreak havoc on your network.
