lSpeeds
-Devices are now faster than ever. They look deeper into the packet and make more complex
decisions. We are not just talking about interconnect
devices anymore.
lFeatures
-Devices are now able to do protocol conformance validation, security signature recognition,
anti-virus, anti-spam,
metering, etc. We need to test these.
lApplications
-The number of applications on our networks is exploding.
Why should we only test with HTTP when it is only part of what the device will see.
