Rather than test for a single inflated number:

– Jointly defined realistic test:• Enable 3G and 4G mobile operators to accurately test

and predict expected network security performance

– Jointly executed:• Simulated mobile user behavior• Emulated mobile user traffic • Obtained comprehensive performance metrics

Jointly Developed:Industry-Leading Network Security Methodology

Validation of Real World PerformanceSimultaneous metrics to demonstrate the security, number of subscribers and QoE that an LTE carrier delivers with realistic packet sizes:

• Firewall plus negligible impact with NAT and IPS• 242,000 Stateful connections per second, plus

42,000 new DNS flows per second• 4,000,000 Concurrent tcp connections• 580,000 Objects per second• 106 Gbps Real world throughput• 42,000 Smartphones activated per second• Approximately 1,000,000 subscribers supported
