AppsWorld - incursion in a real application network Project description: Learn how Applications Stack behaves in a real-life network and how to use Keysight's cutting-edge traffic generator products. Build Application Stack customer focused scenarios based on customer escalations raised in the last year. Create real life applications traffic patterns using technology standards IMIX traffic profiles. Keysight offers an extensive set of visibility intelligence feature stacks so you can get the most out of your visibility and security platforms – our capabilities main allow filtering based on L2 through L7. AppStack represents a context aware, signature-based application layer filtering product. The main features are application detection, traffic filtering based on geo-location/regex/applications and metadata generation to security tools. Customers can easily exclude YouTube and Netflix video streaming traffic from security inspection using filters – this helps reducing bandwidth to security tools. AppStack detects applications through signatures: static, dynamic, or even customized with a patent pending technology and generates metadata, NetFlow, to collectors used to monitor network activity. Keysight’s traffic generators enable you to generate traffic profiles need to reflect actual use in live networks and validate across the stack, including networking protocols, services, applications, and cybersecurity. For L4-7 performance testing we are using two traffic generator products BreakingPoint and IxLoad. The InternetMIX traffic profiles are used by network equipment vendors to simulate real-world traffic patterns and packet distributions. Also, when measuring equipment performance using an IMIX of packets the performance is assumed to resemble what can be seen in "real-world" conditions. Automation – All created test scenarios will be automated in a proprietary framework based on Python/Robot and orchestrated by Jenkins/BitBucket . In this way we can reduce the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours
