The Mobile Application Part (MAP) is an SS7 protocol that provides an application layer for the various nodes in GSM and UMTS mobile core networks and GPRS core networks to communicate with each other in order to provide services to users. The Mobile Application Part is the application-layer protocol used to access the Home Location Register, Visitor Location Register, Mobile Switching Center, Equipment Identity Register, Authentication Centre, Short message service center and Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).
It can test fuzzing, security, feature and performance on single or multiple MAP interfaces concurrently, generating tens of thousands of transactions per second (scalable per machine), with customizable message flows and content.
MAP Load Tester comes with pre-canned scenarios which can be tailored to specific requirements.

Security, fuzzing, penetration test
Security test option includes:
MSC, SGSN, VLR, HLR
For testing the HLR Server, the Valid8 Tester can generate MAP traffic on a variety of interfaces in parallel to test performance and stability.
For testing the MSC Server, the Valid8 Tester can generate MAP traffic on a variety of interfaces in parallel to test performance and stability.
For testing the SGSN Server, the Valid8 Tester can generate MAP traffic on a variety of interfaces in parallel to test performance and stability.
The Valid8 MAP Load tester is capable of simulating multiple nodes and generating large scale stateful MAP load
