Spirent Introduces Portable Web Infrastructure Test Platform

Spirent Communications introduced portable versions of its Avalanche 2200 and Reflector 2200 systems, which are used for stress testing web infrastructure. The new, portable Avalanche 220 simulates a large number of users and supports numerous Layer 4-7 features, such as real-world error injection, multiple link speeds, multiple simultaneous user scenarios, HTML forms fill-in, configurable browser type, cookies and dynamic session identifier support. The unit supports more than 6,000 connections per second, 60,000 open TCP connections from a custom TCP/IP stack, 600 new SSL connections per second, and in excess of 140 Mbps of traffic. The Reflector 220, a complementary product, is a highly portable, flexible, and cost-effective way to simulate complex multi-protocol, multi-tier dynamic Web sites.
