Test Firewalls
Test. Improve. Repeat.

Ethernet Test Tools
Firewalls remain the primary device for securing access to the network. But as the networks have grown larger and more complex, so too have the expectations.
Business demands ubiquitous access from all sorts of mobile and IoT devices, while 5G and TSN raise the bar on the quality of experience. As the complexity increases, so does the need for rigorous testing.
Xena’s customers use Vulcan for in-depth analysis of firewall performance in the network. We also offer Safire for quickly pin-pointing performance bottlenecks on enterprise firewalls caused by enabling specific features.
Xena White Papers
… for this industry
Realistic Traffic Profile Generation for Enterprise Firewalls
Automated traffic profile generation improves enterprise firewall performance testing.
Automotive Ethernet Testing
The automotive industry is finally going digital. Initiatives like the BroadR-Reach 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet standard seek to minimize the weight and cost of electrical cabling – now the 3rd largest weight component.
Advanced Layer 4 Replay
Xena Advanced Layer 4 Replay provides stateful replay on top of its high-performance TCP stack, high scalability for performance verification and preserve correlation information across sessions for true emulation.
Quality Assurance Testing
How Valkyrie can be used for Quality Assurance testing of Ethernet products up to Layer 3.
Firewall Performance Testing Use Cases in Lab and Production Networks
Firewall Performance Testing Use Cases in Lab and Production Networks
Emulation vs. Simulation for Layer 4-7
Testing with realistic application emulation is about emulating network traffic that contains realistic traffic patterns and content. Which is essentialfor providing guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS), and high degrees of Quality-of-Experience (QoE).
Performance Verification of NGFW
To rigorously test the performance of next generation firewalls (NGFWs), it is no longer enough to bombard them with dummy traffic.
Realistic Application Simulation for Enterprise Firewall Performance Testing
Realistic Application Simulation for Enterprise Firewall Performance Testing – Testing Enterprise Firewall with thecorrect test traffic.
Testing VNF
This White Paper demonstrates how the goals listed above can be achieved using Xena’s stateless traffic generator on configurations orchestrated by CNLabs NFV Test Framework.
Performance Characterization of Virtual NGFWs
How to test the performance of virtual enterprise firewalls using Safire.
Application Emulation
Testing with realistic network traffic places the device under test (DUT) in a realistic network environment and delivers authentic results.
