BreakingPoint’s Innovative Network Processing Architecture Emulates Realistic High-
Performance Conditions to Test Performance, Security Effectiveness and Scalability

Austin, TX – March 5, 2009 – BreakingPoint announced today that the Juniper Networks
SRX5800 Services Gateway achieved 150 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of stateless traffic, 109
Gbps of blended application traffic and live security attacks, and 30 Gbps of intrusion prevention
with recommended policies. During a live demonstration held at Juniper Networks (see video at
BreakingPoint Labs), BreakingPoint Systems tested the Juniper Networks SRX5800 Services
Gateway for firewall and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) throughput using four BreakingPoint
Elite chassis. This event marks the first test of a network device using more than 100 Gbps of
stateful blended application traffic made possible by BreakingPoint Elite’s innovative Network
Processing Architecture.

Juniper Networks, Director Product Management, Brian Lazear

“Juniper Networks enables innovative solutions that allow the most demanding applications
services. BreakingPoint Elite’s all-in-one Layer 2-7 performance and security testing of the
Juniper Networks SRX allowed us to configure the 150 Gbps application layer test within minutes
without having to configure each individual port. Additionally, BreakingPoint Elite’s ability to test
with actual blended application traffic helped reinforce our claims of having the fastest product on
the planet."

News Highlights
• Juniper Networks SRX5800 Services Gateway becomes first network device tested with over
100 Gbps of blended Layer 4-7 application traffic - an order of magnitude increase in
processing speed compared to traditional firewalls.
• As an extensible “no compromise” networking and security products, the SRX Services
Gateways met or exceeded product performance specification of 120 Gbps firewall and 30
Gbps intrusion prevention throughput.
• The SRX5800 is equipped with a robust list of features that include firewall, IPS, IPSec VPN,
denial of service (DoS), Network Address Translation (NAT), and quality of service (QoS).
• The SRX Series runs on Juniper’s powerful JUNOS® Software, a single network operating
system integrating routing, switching, and security services, to enable businesses to deploy
switching, routing and security infrastructure with the power of a single network operating
system.
• BreakingPoint conducted the test of the Juniper Networks SRX with a single configuration of
four BreakingPoint Elite chassis, all managed from a single user interface and producing
integrated reports. A single BreakingPoint Elite:
o Generates blended Layer 4-7 traffic from more than 70 application protocols or
custom application protocols at up to 40 Gbps
o Generates 80 Gbps of Layer 2-3 traffic
o Can scale easily with multiple BreakingPoint Elite’s to provide an unlimited amount of
Layer 2-7 traffic using a single interface
o Is the industry’s price-performance leader delivering the lowest cost per TCP session
and lowest cost per Gigabit of Layer 4-7 traffic

BreakingPoint CTO, Dennis Cox

“Juniper understands the importance of providing truth and realism in the testing environment
because it ultimately helps them provide the market with the most innovative products possible.
Testing the Juniper Networks SRX this was abundantly clear as the product handled an immense
amount of realistic application traffic and live security strikes. Testing with BreakingPoint helps
Juniper truly see how products will perform in the real-world and make the necessary changes
and development to make their networking products even better.”
