Testing Load Balancers
xPeak Hurricane enables network equipment manufacturers and enterprise teams to validate load balancer functionality, benchmark performance under realistic traffic conditions, and assess application delivery capabilities at scale.
Load Balancer Testing
- Validate load balancer functionality, performance, and reliability under realistic traffic conditions.
Network & Security Validation
- Test HTTP/S, application, REST API, voice/video, and TCP/UDP traffic.
Performance & Scalability
- Measure response times, throughput, and system behavior to ensure optimal application delivery at scale.
A Complete Testing Solution
Validate normal, peak, and failure scenarios
xPeak Hurricane delivers comprehensive functional and performance validation through realistic Layer 4–7 traffic generation. Validate how your load balancer behaves under normal operating conditions, peak demand, and failure scenarios to ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
With xPeak, you can verify:
- Load balancing algorithm validation
- Content switching and traffic steering policies
- SSL offload & application delivery
- Application-aware traffic distribution
- Throughput benchmarking
- Throughput benchmarking, and much more
- Large-scale user emulation
xPeak Advantage
Realistic traffic, at production scale
xPeak Hurricane combines realistic stateful traffic generation with large-scale application emulation in a single, software-defined platform designed for modern application delivery testing. Generate realistic Layer 4–7 application traffic that closely mirrors production environments, including web applications, APIs, encrypted sessions, and mixed workloads.
- Evaluate not only maximum throughput, but the quality and consistency of application delivery under real-world conditions
- Scale confidently from functional validation to large-scale benchmarking
- Generate millions of new connections per second and emulate hundreds of millions of concurrent sessions
- Ensure your load balancing infrastructure maintains responsiveness, availability, and performance — even during peak demand and unexpected failures
