Diameter Load Tester

Scalable Diameter protocol load, feature and security testing solution for all interfaces including wireline, mobile 4G/5G and IoT

Overview

Diameter protocol signaling load is increasing due to subscriber growth. Operators need to prove their networks can scale reliably and have the necessary capacity and built-in redundancy. Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) need to test at all stages of the product life-cycle and conduct acceptance testing at the operator. The Valid8 Diameter Load Tester provides testing capabilities across numerous Diameter interfaces in fixed and mobile networks such as Cx, Dx, Ga, Gd, Gx, Gy, Nasreq, Rf, Rx, S6a, S6c, S6d, S6m, S6n, S6t, S13, Sd, Sh, Swx, T6ai, T6bi, Tsp, Zh.

What It Can Do For You

It can test fuzzing, security, feature and performance on single or multiple Diameter interfaces concurrently, generating tens of thousands of transactions per second (scalable per machine), with customizable message flows and content.

Diameter Load Tester comes with pre-canned scenarios which can be tailored to specific requirements.

Why It’s Different

Features

  • Measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as number of simultaneous sessions and Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA)
  • Check transaction content correctness
  • Check load capabilities
  • Generate valid and invalid/negative messages and call-scenarios
  • Supports sending invalid responses including malformed, dropped and misordered packets
  • Security testing

Security test option includes:

  • Act as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and access the roaming network through an existing operator.
  • Act as a diameter routing agent (DRA), diameter edge agents (DEA).
  • Act as a Mobility Management Entity (MME)) to simulate session management, subscriber authentication, roaming and handovers to other network.

Automation API

User commands can be fully automated using REST API. This includes performing all test control functions as well as collecting results and metrics. It can be integrated into virtually any CI system via the HTTP API, including Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab and others. Includes Autom8 Python framework.

Scripting

The application’s subsystems can be edited directly in the browser using TDL. The Message Workshop allows for the creation of test scenarios directly from the hex stream of a remote capture, while the Composer graphical editor (being deployed for all products in 2021) will allow for creating customized call scenarios by dragging and dropping the call flow to meet your test needs.
