“The BreakingPoint equipment is one of only a handful of devices capable of performing this type of ‘real world’ testing concentrating on Layer 4 to 7 and is the only one to prove capable of doing it at line-speeds in excess of 10 Gbps."
"The sophistication of today's networks demands that we test equipment under a variety of real-world traffic conditions. Proper testing of a wide range of use cases requires the ability to generate blended application traffic with high session counts while maintaining multi-Gigabit throughput. BreakingPoint's extensible framework enables NSS Labs to efficiently create repeatable and scalable tests containing extremely complex applications.”

BreakingPoint BPS 10K
The First All-in-One, Easy to Use 10 Gigabit+ Testing Platform for Dynamic Content-Aware Networks and Network Equipment
Today's enterprise networks and network device are hammered by increasing volumes of business, recreational and malicious traffic. To effectively test in such a complex and dynamic environment, you need the most realistic converged application traffic with high session counts delivered at line-speed. Legacy packet blasting or HTTP traffic-based testing approaches are not architected to help you ensure network equipment will perform in a dynamic, high-volume production environment.
The BreakingPoint BPS 10K application and network equipment testing platform is the first all-in-one application, performance and security testing platform designed specifically for content-aware networks and network equipment. It is the only product capable of putting Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) functionality of content-aware equipment such as WAN optimization devices, Firewalls, VPNs, and IPS/IDS to the test with converged application traffic and live security strikes at line-speed. What once required eight full racks of test systems, can now be accomplished with a single, easy-to-use application, performance and security testing platform.
How We Are Different:
Complete Layer 2-7 Testing: Native generation of stateful application traffic and live security attacks. Out of the box support for more than 50 application protocols and 3,500+ security strikes, which are updated almost weekly. Applications currently include:
| AOL Instant Messenger | Informix | RPC NFS |
| BitTorrent | IPP | RSync |
| Chargen | IRC | RTP |
| Daytime | Jabber | RTSP Advanced |
| IBM DB2 | LDAP | SIP |
| DCE/RPC | MIcrosoft SQL | SMB/CIFS |
| Discard | MSN Messenger | SMTP |
| DNS | NetBIOS | SNMP |
| Echo | NNTP | SSH |
| eDonkey | NTP | Sun RPC |
| Finger | Oracle | Sybase |
| FIX | POP3 Advanced | Syslog |
| FIXT | Postgres | Telnet |
| FTP | QOTD | TFTP |
| Gopher | RADIUS Accounting | Time |
| HTTP | RADIUS Access | |
| HTTPS | RLogin | World of Warcraft |
| Ident | RPC BIND | Yahoo IM |
| IMAPv4 Advanced | RPC Mount |
Unprecedented 10+ Gigabit Performance: Both out of the box and custom applications can be accelerated by our patent-pending Test Expression Engine™ enabling speeds of 10 Gigabits per second and faster, 7.5 million simultaneous TCP sessions and 750,000 TCP/IP sessions per second.
Ease of Use: The BreakingPoint BPS 10K is easy to use for staff of all skill levels with an intuitive Adobe Flash-based management interface, test automation, and device control features. Take advantage of our extensive library of pre-configured tests or customize your own. Produce instant graphical reports for any and all test scenarios with a wide array of graphics and export formats.
For the first time, NEMs, service providers, enterprises and government agencies have access to the components needed to test today's complex and dynamic network environment in a single, easy-to-use testing platform. BreakingPoint has raised the bar with accurate, fast, easy-to-use, and responsive products and services designed by former network equipment engineers.
