HARDWARE

• MX-10G-C2/4/8 test module now brings native 10GBase-T interface support *New*
• Spirent TestCenter C1 with Avalanche support on 1G and 10G *New*

SOFTWARE

Video

• Apple HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) client emulation for testing real user experience of a network and server delivering HLS video. HLS video requests can now be part of the action list and the methodology test can now include HLS video scoring as part of the results. Now test user experience with a realistic mix of actions including video!
• Adaptive Bit Rate Apple HLS VoD Server support allows users to test Apple HTTP HLS ABR VoD without the need to provision servers and measure the ability of an infrastructure network to serve Apple HLS under scale
• ABR video statistics *New*

SAPEE

• Global PCAP direction reversal allows users to change packet flow direction with one click and quickly test the reverse path of the protocol
• Multi-server support for SAPEE allows a single client to target multiple server IP addresses significantly decreasing test time setup for scenarios requiring multiple server hits from a single client
• Import ‘anything’ feature increases flexibility by enabling SAPEE to import a much larger variety of protocols and packet formats (VLAN, IPv6, etc.)

Core Protocols

• HTTP Authentication Digest support
• Avalanche Vulnerability Database updated and attack search capability added

Security

• IPSec performance increases of over 2.2x on the Avalanche 3100B!
• New ciphers for IKEv2 added including support for NSA Suite B and Diffie-Hellman Groups 14, 15, 16 *New*

Infrastructure/Usability

• Dynamic Resource Allocation allows users more flexibility in allocating test platform processing and memory allocation
• EZ Test expanded protocol depth and additional SAPEE options and attacks
• Reduced test port setup time by processing configuration on multiple ports simultaneously
• Real-time SNMP trending results. *New*

Automation

• Alpha introduction of new simpler Tcl API makes writing Avalanche scripts even easier
