Mu Dynamics App-ID Test Content
The App-ID Test Content package provides the ability to quickly test the sophisticated signature
and pattern recognition capabilities of application-aware systems. This package contains a set of
ready-to-run Mu test scenarios for a wide range of popular web-based applications including peer-
to-peer (P2P), instant messaging (IM), and Social Media domains, examples - BitTorrent, AOL IM,
Jabber, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and many more. These test assets can immediately be used for
pass-through testing of app-aware devices and services for functional, fuzz and scale testing. The
Mu Test Suite provides additional flexibility by allowing the modification and extension of the test
content, or the ability to build additional test content based on any network traffic capture.
The App-ID Test Content is designed for Tier-1 Operators and App-Aware Vendors
covering the following use-cases:
Tier-1 Operators - Policy Enforcement for QoS
By setting policies to control QoS so that a popular new application doesn’t consume all available
bandwidth and impact other applications, Mu’s App-ID Test Content can be used to ensure that the
configurations of the policy enforcement devices are correct, and that the policy is being enforced
appropriately. With Mu Studio Scale, tens of thousands of application profiles can be simultaneously
sent through the app-aware gateway to evaluate its ability to detect these applications and apply
policy to them. With Mu Studio Fuzz, application profiles can be intelligently malformed to test the
error handling capabilities of the system and the effect it has on the end user experience.
App-Aware Vendors – Testing the Effectiveness of DPI, IPS, Firewall ALG’s, DLP,
UTM, Content Filtering, and Lawful Intercept Capabilities
Mu’s App-ID Test Content can be used to ensure the effectiveness of the application-aware
gateway capabilities to ensure the latest application profiles are being detected and handled
accordingly. With Mu Studio Verify, functional verification can be performed to test the classification
and prioritization capabilities of the device. With Mu Studio Scale, tens of thousands of application
profiles can be simultaneously sent through the app-aware gateway to evaluate its ability to detect
these applications and apply policy to them. With Mu Studio Fuzz, application profiles can be
intelligently malformed to test the error handling capabilities of the system and the effect it has on
the end user experience.
