| • | Speeds |
|||||||||||||||
| • | 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. |
||||||||||||||||
| • | Features |
|||||||||||||||
| • | Devices
are now able to do protocol conformance |
|||||||||||||||
| validation,
security signature recognition, anti-virus, |
||||||||||||||||
| anti-spam,
metering, etc. We need to test
these. |
||||||||||||||||
| • | Applications |
|||||||||||||||
| • | 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. |
