Netropy AppPlayback Traffic Generation Application Virtual Edition

Description

AppPlayback captures production network conditions and converts them into dynamic traffic streams to help find and eliminate performance bottlenecks on your network before they reach your end user. Record and replay real-world traffic and application characteristics in the lab at tremendous scale by amplifying a single traffic capture into up to a million flows. Emulate clients and servers to quickly and easily validate the performance of network devices like WAN accelerators and SD-WAN gateways.

AppPlayback is available on high performance appliances and virtual machines (this version is for virtual environments). Configure tests with ease on the feature-rich, browser-based GUI or with our comprehensive RESTful API for increased automation. Run multiple tests at once and keep them running in the background, collaborate with your team, and easily connect and perform tests from anywhere.

Netropy AppPlayback Virtual Edition Features:

• Isolate and capture any application flow for replay at scale
• Amplify single flows into millions of flows for load testing
• Stateful PCAP replay
• Load and replay up to 30,000 PCAPs
• Replay large PCAPs ( > 5 GB)
• Modify or specify range of MAC address, IP address
• Encapsulate payload from PCAP with overlay technologies like VLAN, QinQ VXLAN, NVGRE
• Identify and pin-point packet causing crash
• Identify the flow direction (client to server/server to client) that is causing application failures
• Easy to use and intuitive web-based user interface
• Sequential or parallel PCAP replay
• Automation support with a RESTful API

Netropy AppPlayback Virtual Edition Benefits:

• Configure tests with different traffic-load and application distributions to replicate the characteristics of your production network.
• Regenerate dynamic network traffic including a wide array of application mixes, protocols and user behaviour.
• Validate network architectures and devices with what-if scenarios before deployment.
• Eliminate performance bottlenecks on your network and application failures before they impact your end user.
• Replicate crashes and bugs more easily and build fixes faster.
• Capture and replay traffic with various protocols, packet sizes, Inter Frame Gap (IFG), and Inter Burst Gap (IBG).
• Scale testing by amplifying a single flow into a million flows to load test the DUT.
• Ensure quality of service of products and quality of experience for customers.
• Integrate with Netropy Network Emulation for end-to-end performance testing.
• Apposite’s pioneering experience in the development of WAN acceleration products highlighted the need for network emulation tools that provided the precision required for reliable testing, without the cost and complexity that put existing tools out of reach for most users. This led directly to the founding of Apposite Technologies in 2005 to fulfill the mission of making application testing ubiquitous. Apposite’s network emulation products are used by 2,500 leading enterprises, network application developers, government and military organizations, and telecommunications carriers around the world.
