SCENARIO
Networks and network devices are becoming increasingly complex. Enterprise expansion, data center convergence, and new service deployments require diversified networking technologies and devices to operate together seamlessly.
As multiple special-purpose networks converge into a single network carrying voice, video, data, and wireless traffic, it is critical that device manufacturers verify the scalability, stability, and performance of their switches and routers.
Service providers must carry multiplay services on a single IP network to offer increasingly popular applications, such as YouTube, Facebook, and P2P exchange. The demand for a larger capacity and more services increases the complexity and scale of modern networks and devices. Providers must validate service differentiation based on configured QoS policies and SLAs, in addition to determining the service impact on existing network structures from new applications.
