Maxwell Pro's Comprehensive TCP & IP Testing Suite

 Experience comprehensive TCP testing with Maxwell Pro's TCP/IP Test Suite. As a vital communication standard, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ensures seamless data exchange between network nodes. By leveraging the TCP Test Suite, engineers can proactively detect and address bugs and security vulnerabilities in their applications and devices prior to deployment.

Saving you valuable time and resources by identifying and resolving issues early in the development process. By conducting thorough testing, you can enhance the reliability and security of your apps and devices, preventing potential failures and safeguarding sensitive data. Ensure the robustness and integrity of your TCP implementations with Maxwell Pro's TCP/IP Test Suite, providing you with the confidence to deliver high-quality products that meet the demands of your customers.

Test Your TCP Implementation

Finding and fixing TCP bugs prior to deployment assures secure, interoperable, high quality apps and devices with fewer deployment failures -- avoiding costly recalls or on-premise repairs.

Ensure your TCP implementation is sufficiently robust and not vulnerable to the wide range of attacks in today's Internet.

Bug Detection: Testing helps uncover bugs in your TCP implementation, enabling you to rectify them before deployment and ensuring smooth operation of your applications and networks.

Enhanced Security: Testing helps uncover security vulnerabilities in your TCP implementation, allowing you to strengthen the security measures and protect sensitive data from potential threats.

Compatibility Verification: Testing ensures that your TCP implementation is compatible with various network environments and devices, avoiding compatibility issues that may hinder communication.


Unique Test Cases

The TCP Test Suite contains unique test cases that take on parameters for greater coverage. The tests ensure TCP compliance through vulnerability and robustness testing, with tests for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Customization

The Maxwell Pro TCP Test Suite can provide you with the customization and flexibility you need to accurately test your implementation and meet your schedules.

TCP/IP Testing Approved by Aerospace Engineer

“For your information: We have now gone through all [the Maxwell TCP/IP] fragmentation tests and our stack failed more then 50% of them. We have found 12 individual bugs in the stack so the Maxwell TCP/IP Test Suite certainly does a good job :-).”

Hardware Requirements

The TCP/IP Test Suite operates on the Maxwell Pro platform, available in two configurations:

(1) Maxwell Pro-V operates on the VMware vSphere ESXi-- a virtual server. MaxPro-V runs on ESXi compatible hardware. See the compatibility maxtrix.
The minimum hardware configuration for the VMware vSphere ESXi is:

  • At least 40 gigabytes of free disk space, 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of memory

  • ESXi 6.7 and above releases

  • Three Ethernet interfaces are recommended, with a minimum of two.

(2) IWL provides Maxwell Pro as a complete packaged system -- including hardware, operating system, and Maxwell Pro TCP/IP Test Suite application.

TCP/IP Test Suite Programmability

Customize the TCP/IP Tests as follows:

  1. Use one of our existing tests as a base and make small modifications to tailor, as required. Custom tests can be added to the TCP/IP protocol test suites using the Python language.

  2. Control Maxwell Pro from a Python, Perl, Tcl, Java, shell script or another application using the Maxwell Control API Guide.

  3. Create a plugin in C or C++. Plugins are the mechanism for creating programs in the Maxwell environment.
