Stop Fighting over Test Ports

Priced to enable every developer to have access to test ports when needed

Ideal for development test, production test or QA cycles, Siama provides NEMs with a suite of test tools that are easy to use and cost-effective. Measure the performance of your implementations, capture and analyze traffic,

verify conformance to standard protocols, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. You can even automate test cases using LUA scripting for overnight test suite execution and reporting.

   Siama is the perfect solution for us. The well-designed, efficient and affordable equipment helps our testing team keep up with product development, save a lot of time and inspire customer confidence. It is a key tool for our business growth.

Benchmark Switching and Routing Devices

Benchmark the performance of your switch, router or VNF implementations using RFC 2544 test suites. These test suites measure throughput, loss, delay, jitter and permitted burst size of your devices. The results are automatically plotted in real-time and reports can be downloaded in PDF format with the click of a button.

Synthetic Traffic Generation

Use GENEM’s powerful synthetic traffic generation tools to emulate real-world traffic by combining multiple application streams into multiplexed flows. Create any type of packet and specify header values using our intuitive packet editor. Add hardware timestamps and sequence numbers to synthetic traffic to track performance of streams. Accurate stream rate control allows you to precisely throttle the rate of packet transmission on a test port for each stream independently.

Synthetic Traffic Generation

Packet Capture and Playback

You can capture traffic on any of the test ports with the click of your mouse. A large 8GB onboard capture buffer can store a copy of received packets up to line rate. You can export the capture buffer and decode the contents using WireShark. You can also playback the capture at the rate it was captured or at full line rate. Upload pre-saved PCAP files to the PROVA and play them back on any test port.

Packet Capture and Playback

Protocol Emulation

GENEM uses Siama’s micro-scan™ engines in conjunction with Exit-Actions to emulate stateful traffic between the test appliance and a DUT. Emulate millions of TCP client connection requests to a server to verify the scalability of your implementations.

Protocol Emulation

Network Emulation and Impairment

Emulate complex networks and systems by using GENEM’s network emulation capabilities. Artificially add latency, jitter and loss between traffic source and sink to simulate network conditions, including congestion and loss, to determine how your applications will behave.

Network Emulation and Impairment

Packet Filtering and Flow Monitoring

Use GENEM’s powerful micro-scan™ engines to inspect and filter packets based on fine granularity indicators for monitoring. Collect statistics on flows and micro-flows, applications or IP Address ranges. Capture flows or enable packet forwarding to send captures to a mass storage device.

Jenn

JOB
Develops networking products and leads a development team of 25 people
PAINS
- Under enormous pressure to develop sellable products
- Works long hours to get the firmware done
- Developing product on a very small budget
KPIs
- Speed and quality of development
- Minimization of financial and human resources
- Sales targets
RESULTS
To speed up development, Jenn purchases a PROVA for every 4-5 developers to share, allowing them to test their implementations, thus making debugging much easier and improving quality significantly before committing source code to the repository. With the PROVA's affordable price, the business case to speedy development is a no-brainer.
