ByteBlower
ByteBlower: its biggest assets at a glance
Plug and test!
TCP/IP network testing need not be a complex undertaking. The ByteBlower GUI is user-friendly and intuitive, so that everyone soon gets the hang of it, with no need for extra training. With ByteBlower, a whole program of tests, using hundreds of traffic ports, can easily be created in next to no time: in just a few minutes, a test is set up and ready to run.
Unlimited flexibility
Want to test a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6, UDP and TCP traffic, multicast flows and flows with different QoS/CoS settings? Start and stop the flows at a configurable time? No problem… ByteBlower allows an exceptionally extensive range of tests, from simple to the most advanced scenarios, in an all-in-one solution. Combining multiple protocols, latency and loss tests, TCP throughput tests, etc. can be done from one single point, with the flexibility of byte level analysis. This flexibility will undoubtedly meet the requirements of every ByteBlower user in this fast-evolving business.
Scalable to the max
Closely associated with its flexibility is the scalability of the ByteBlower framework. Whether you want to introduce new network technology or test hundreds or thousands of devices at once, ByteBlower allows you - unlike hardware-based systems - to easily and cost-effectively add new functionality or expand your testing environment with extra ByteBlower servers. So that you leverage your existing investment.
Testing in no time
ByteBlower is delivered with a platform-independent API, expressly developed for TCL scripting. The object-oriented and highly flexible approach perfectly matches the user’s wishlist of useful features. The API provides the full functionality of the ByteBlower GUI and allows the user to fine-tune the settings, if and when desired. For fast test development, a TCL-based higher layer API is available, which includes both stateless (e.g. frame loss, latency, etc) and stateful testing (TCP/HTTP, etc).
Surprisingly low TCO
ByteBlower’s flexibility and scalability, its all-in-one approach and the off-the-shelf hardware make it a very cost-effective solution. So that in-house testing becomes feasible for smaller network operators and equipment testing labs.
From Hong Kong to New York!
Thanks to the GPS synchronization, ByteBlower is just the ticket for performing comprehensive testing on systems that are geographically spread: ByteBlower-enabled servers have perfect time synchronization in order to perform accurate latency tests.
