Network TAP vs
SPAN/Mirror Port
Monitoring, analysis and out-of-band security tools all have one thing in common: they need a reliable data source from which to obtain network data, and they depend on this source to function. But what is the best way to feed the network data to these tools?
Network TAPs
in the CRITIS area
According to the NIS2 Directive, operators of critical infrastructures (CRITIS), as well as providers of public electronic communication networks or services, wastewater and waste management, manufacturers of certain critical products, and many others in all 27 member states of the EU, must take comprehensive measures for the security of their network and information systems by 18 October 2024.

Terabit Ethernet – Why?
Part 1/2
Understanding the commercial drivers for Terabit Ethernet.
This is the first of two White Papers exploring Terabit Ethernet. Here in Part 1, we will look at the commercial factors driving the development of Terabit Ethernet. In Part 2, we will explore the technical drivers for new Terabit Ethernet solutions.
Emulation vs. simulation for layers 4-7
Testing with realistic application emulation is about emulating network traffic that contains realistic traffic patterns and content. This generates results that are far more accurate than using simulation or stateless Layer 2-3 blasting. Being able to analyze the results generated by “real” network testing is essential for providing guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS), and high degrees of Quality-of-Experience (QoE)…

Testing SD-WAN
Wide Area Networks (WANs) have been the basis for long-distance communication for decades. Over time their complexity and manageability has increased as new applications and features have been added. This slows down the upgrade process significantly as new features typically requires adding or changing hardware in the network – which all needs to be tested before being brought online…

RFC6349 based TCP Testing
Enterprises will typically sign a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a service provider for their communication path through a network. The SLA contains worst case values
for parameters like bandwidth, latency, packet jitter, frame loss ratio and availability. The service provider can conduct RFC 2544 and Y.1564 tests…

Performance verification of Next Generation Firewalls
Verifying the performance of NGFW and any network security device is essential to the success of the enterprise network it defends. With various advanced protection features such as application identification, intrusion prevention, threat detection, etc., the NGFW can easily become the bottleneck of the network, degrading the overall performance and user experience…

Testing TLS Performance
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are the most popular cryptographic protocols used by the major web browsers, and websites around the world. HTTPS, also called HTTP over TLS, is now the de facto standard for many websites to provide secure services to their users…

Latency and Jitter in Networking Performance
Latency and jitter are key measurement parameters when evaluating and benchmarking the performance of a network, system or device. Different applications have different requirements on traffi c latency and jitter. For example, Voice over IP (VoIP) services are sensitive to latency and jitter, while data transfer is more tolerant…

QoS Validation
Quality of Service (QoS) is the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various underlying technologies. It differentiates network traffic and prioritizes different traffic flows to provide a degree of guarantee to different networks services, such as voice, video and data…

Fulfilling the promise of NFV
After some 49 months of intensive activity, network functions virtualization (NFV) has transitioned from a concept defined in a white paper to commercial reality. But while progress has been formidable, given the magnitude of the changes and challenges, additional steps and decisions must be taken to achieve the total promise of NFV…

How to build an automated NFV infrastructure
The drivers for network function virtualization (NFV) all come down to flexibility, Performance and cost savings. When a group of the world’s largest network operators launched the NFV initiative back in 2012, the original goals were to reduce equipment costs and power consumption, improve operational efficiency, accelerate timeto-market for new services, open the market to new suppliers,…

The time has come for greater precision
Packet networks and the Internet Protocol (IP) are now firmly established as the platforms for new communication services. No longer just for “best effort” data transmission, IP has matured to encompass not just one, but a multitude of packet protocols, algorithms and methods designed to enable IP to support real-time services, such as voice, video and real-time transactions…
