Name: VIAVI CyberFlood CF30 1RU Layer 4-7 Application Performance Test Appliance
Brand: VIAVI
SKU: CF30

Overview

The VIAVI CF30 for CyberFlood is a self-contained, small-form-factor appliance for testing the performance of content-aware network devices and web application infrastructures. It includes a built-in web-based test controller for managing test cases and assets, so no separate hosting platform is needed.

The CF30 generates high-fidelity encrypted and mixed application traffic at scale. This supports network validation in enterprise, data center and service provider environments, including verification of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). It combines multiple CyberFlood test functions in one 1RU unit with eight 10G/1G SFP+ interfaces.

Application realism

CyberFlood uses VIAVI TestCloud to provide hundreds of thousands of application and user scenarios with authentic payloads. Users can also import their own applications to recreate custom traffic at scale. Web-capture functions let recorded sessions of complex website interactions be imported and replayed.

Compatibility

Tests created on the CF30 are compatible with other CyberFlood platforms, including virtual, cloud and hardware-based deployments. The appliance can also run the full range of VIAVI Avalanche software. NetSecOPEN methodologies are built in, and Advanced Mixed Traffic is a standard option on the CF30.

CyberFlood Feature Details

Web Based Interface	Easy to use multi-user web-based interface makes setting up and executing comprehensive tests fast, easy and consistent
Application Scenarios	Hundreds of thousands of current and popular application and user scenarios that can be easily used in custom mixed traffic tests
HTTPS/TLS Testing	Support for TLS v1.2, and TLS v1.3 with selectable certificate and cipher suites
HTTP Connections Tests	Open thousands to millions of new connections per second to ensure your DUT can handle the new connection rate of your network
HTTP Bandwidth Tests	Find the maximum throughput achievable using emulated, realistic HTTP clients and HTTP servers and leveraging a configurable network topology
HTTP Open Connection Tests	Open millions of concurrent TCP connections within the state table of your DUT to find the maximum concurrency it can support. Leverage HTTP as the protocol for added realism during this test
VPN Testing	Easily assess capacities and capabilities of site to site and remote access IPSec and SSL VPN from tunnel setup to data traffic handling Expanding set of SSL VPN dialects
Advanced Mixed Traffic Assessment	Create custom and highly configurable tests and assessments with user action lists that execute a set of user application interactions for HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, FTP, DNS over TLS and HTTPS, and other protocols
Mixed Traffic Tests	Measure the impact on application performance when using real-world built-in applications or extended applications with the power of TestCloud. Individually measure the bandwidth and success rate of each application added to the test to confirm the impact of the network under test
ZTNA Testing	Validate the scale and performance of the ZTNA architecture by emulating authenticated, unauthenticated and unauthorized users via SAML and OIDC to validate least-privilege access policies
Traffic Replay	Replay your own traffic profiles at scale to determine the impact of customer traffic flows on network devices and services
DNS Tests	Overload your DUT by sending hundreds of thousands of DNS queries per second for it to process and traverse, as well as process the corresponding events that occur on the DNS responses
