Radius Load Tester

Scalable RADIUS protocol testing solution for all interfaces including wireline, mobile 4G/5G/Wifi, IMS and IoT.

Overview

RADIUS is an authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol used pervasively in telecom and datacom networks that manages network access. The Valid8 Radius Load Tester provides load testing capabilities across numerous Radius interfaces in fixed and mobile networks.

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.

Why It’s Different

  • Scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance
  • Web-based UI is easy to learn
  • HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment
  • Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements

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

KPIs
  • Access-Request/Accept/Reject/Challenge
  • Accounting-Request/Response

Configurable Parameters
  • ‍Call session length
  • Concurrent calls/endpoints
  • BHCA/CPS

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.
