MARKHAM, ON -- Navtel Communications Inc. a leading developer and global provider of test equipment for the laboratories of network equipment manufacturers & operators is delighted to announce the launch of their second generation IP InterEmulator, their leading IP network infrastructure test solution.

The IP InterEmulator is a suite of network infrastructure, application stressing and security validation solutions built around custom high performance hardware. The IP InterEmulator emulates actual user traffic to stress network infrastructures under tremendous load conditions. This allows operators and developers to immediately pinpoint weaknesses in and threats to their network infrastructure before any disaster occurs. It is perfectly suited to assist developers in ensuring that their service delivery platforms can continue to provide services under load and/or under attack conditions. According to a recent article published on Network World Fusion's site [www.nwfusion.com] - "there have been more attacks in the last six months than there have been in the last 10 years. Carnegie Mellon University's CERT Coordination Center [www.cert.org] for reporting Internet security problems backs up such claims. Through the end of September, there were 114,855 security breaches reported by users and ISPs, which is 32,761 more than all of 2002. These reports include all types of security policy violations from distributed DoS to hacker attacks".

"With its completely revised and upgraded architecture featuring faster processors, integrated client/server emulation and unrivalled ability to generate DOS and DDOS attacks, Navtel is at the forefront of the market. Within 5 minutes of turning on the IP InterEmulator the user can emulate millions of PCs and thousands of servers while simultaneously establishing millions of TCP sessions and generating more than 100,000 HTTP requests per second and millions of attacks all at the single click of a button. In addition, Navtel has continued to enhance the reporting capabilities of our iReports to accommodate more applications and formats. This is one of the most powerful and easy to use test tools on the market." said Brad Bolger Product Manager at Navtel.
