With thousands of applications in the service provide infrastructure, you need to ensure your deep packet inspection (DPI) systems can accurately detect and classify these applications in order to gain visibility into your application mix. You also need to effectively manage congestion, deliver tiered services, implement differentiated billing, and mitigate attacks.

How We Can Help

  • Traffic Detection and Classification: Verify detection of the latest applications and protocols on your network
  • Congestion Management: Test your traffic management capabilities by validating bandwidth and connection rate control capabilities
  • Policy Enforcement: Recreate and test with the latest applications to ensure that they do not evade the application signatures
  • Differentiated Billing: Gain visibility into bandwidth consumption and application behaviors, so that you ensure accurate time, application, or location-based charging
  • Security: Test security capabilities in order to detect and prevent security attacks and virus outbreaks, which can consume large amounts of costly bandwidth and impact quality-of-service (QoS)

The Mu Advantage

Mu Dynamics’ powerful solution enables you to quickly and accurately test the performance and security of your DPI systems. You can:

  • Thoroughly validate your DPI system’s capabilities under real-world scenarios by using tests that behave like real users using real applications and devices, under production level loads
  • Stay ahead of the application explosion phenomenon by leveraging the thousands of ready-to-run, integrated test cases encompassing the latest versions of hundreds of applications, ranging from business applications to social gaming applications
