Service providers and network operators

Linkbit Intelligent Core Tester is deployed by Mobile Network Operators worldwide. Our customers are using it for functional and load testing of Mobile Core networks.

Intelligent Core Tester (ICT) has been used in testing IN, HLRs, MSCs, SMSCs, 3G CS/PS interfaces and nodes, LTE Diameter interfaces, HTTP, SIP, other 4G Mobile Core protocols and interfaces.

Linkbit ICT deployment makes test automation quick, easy and inexpensive.

Intelligent Core Tester

Linkbit ICT is a competitive, cost-effective Mobile Core network test platform based on commercially available hardware.

Modern day Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are facing tremendous pressure of keeping the existing services running uninterrupted while constantly upgrading networking hardware, patching the software and rolling out new services.

A high-performance Linkbit ICT system supports a great number of network interfaces and protocols, from legacy (ASLI, BRI, PRI, SS7, etc.) to S1, X2, Diameter, and other 4G/LTE interfaces. Broad protocol and interfaces coverage allows Linkbit ICT to be used to test end-to-end integrity and operations of a modern Mobile Core network. Support for new protocols and interfaces could be rapidly deployed through a simple software upgrade.

Modern, scalable and highly programmable, Linkbit ICT future-proofs MNOs' investments in test equipment, improves the ROI, and offers an ultimate test system for MNO QA teams and equipment certification labs.

Network equipment manufacturers

Linkbit Legion is deployed in NEMs labs worldwide. Our customers use it in agile development teams for quick packet flows prototyping, detailed packet-by-packet replays of error conditions, and ongoing regression testing.

Legion

Scalable, standard hardware platform for functional and load testing of Mobile Core networks, built with high-end Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components. IP based protocols and interfaces are supported. Targeted for both load and functional testing.

In an ongoing race to develop smarter mobile applications and services, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs) find themselves competing with over-the-top (OTT) service providers. The latter are iterating their product code very fast, producing a continuous stream of improvements.

To match OTT development speed and quality, MNOs and NEMs have to adopt modern agile development methodologies. These methodologies require QA engineers to work side-by-side with developers, as one team, and thus require new test tools and approaches.

Linkbit Legion is an ultimate functional and performance test platform for Mobile Core networks. It includes full support of great number of VoIP, 3GPP/3GPP2/IETF networking standards and allows for fast and painless creation of test scenarios covering any combination of Mobile Core IP based interfaces and protocols.

By making it possible to execute Legion packet processing engine on multiple CPU cores in parallel, Linkbit created a platform with no match in performance and flexibility.

Cybersecurity

Linkbit PacketCraft software allows Mobile Packet Core network packet-by-packet traffic generation, packet transformation/mutation, protocol stack robustness testing, fuzzing and penetration testing.

PacketCraft

Linkbit PacketCraft is a stand-alone software application running on customer provided hardware platforms, and best suited for functional network testing of IP based Mobile Core network protocols and interfaces.

PacketCraft packet engine software is "fully aware" of packet data structures and inter-dependencies in all layers of protocols at the foundation of a modern Mobile Core network. The software is capable of programmable, on-the-fly transformation of packets in all layers of all Mobile Core stacks. It is capable of introducing on-the-fly"in spec" and "out of spec" variations at any of the layers.

PacketCraft test could be programmed with Linkbit visual flowcharts editor, a standard scripting languages (Perl, Python, JavaScript), or their combination. Most tests can be implemented with visual flowcharts only.

Developers

Linkbit PacketCraft software is the most powerful functional protocol test solution available on the marketplace today. It offers an unprecedented functional packet-by-packet testing flexibility, programmability, ease of use. Developers all over the world are using Linkbit PacketCraft to test and validate their network integrity and equipment functionality.

Platform

Customers can install the PacketCraft software on their own hardware platform, such as a server, workstation or a laptop equipped with a standard NIC and can perform functional network testing at their QA labs and customer sites. Linkbit PacketCraft testing solution requires a software license, Windows 7 or Windows 2008 Server, and a standard PC NIC.

This is the only technology on the market that enables users not only to automatically import the .pcap trace logs, but also to edit any message structure on layers 4 – 7, thus creating a test script in a matter of minutes. Customers can use a powerful and intuitive XDL visual test builder, Java script, or the combination of visual and scripting tools. Protocol analyzer tool is included with the package and runs concurrently with the simulator to aid the troubleshooting.

QA Labs

Linkbit software allows building and executing detailed packet-by-packet network tests with simple graphical flowcharts, using only drag-and-drop and point-and-click operations. No coding is necessary. Complex network tests can be created by users with no programming skills.

Linkbit's software unprecedented power, flexibility and ease of use allows a QA member of an agile development team to start validating network functionality from day one.
