diversifEye V3.0 Offers Award Winning Solution to Network Service
Providers and Equipment Vendors
Burlingame, CA -- Shenick Network Systems, an award winning
provider of high performance IP communications test systems, today
announced that it has added significant IPTV and triple play
enhancements to the release of its diversifEye™ Version 3.0
software.
With diversifEye 3.0, Shenick is the only IP communications test
vendor to provide the degree of granularity required to test overall
performance and quality of service (QoS), coupled with the ability
to drill down to each IPTV, VoIP and internet user for true quality
of experience (QoE) assessment. All functionality is packaged into a
single box test system. |

“Shenick is one of the first companies to anticipate and address the
many new real-world deployment issues that the emergence of triple
play brought to IP communications," said Sankara Jambulingam,
research analyst, Frost & Sullivan's. “We are delighted to award
Shenick the Frost & Sullivan Communications Test & Measurement
Emerging Company of the Year for 2006.”
With the new features of enhanced IPTV test, video quality analysis,
the addition of VoIP, DHCP and PPPoE protocols, Shenick customers
can now test critical IPTV, triple play, broadband services
performance and quality issues within a single system. Shenick’s
diversifEye handles the complete cycle of broadband customer access
scenarios from obtaining an IP address via DHCP to establishing PPP
tunnels through emulation of real user application traffic flows of
multiple IPTV, VoIP, VoD and data applications such as Web, P2P and
email. Shenick will also support real-time (or passive) IPTV video
quality analysis on a per IPTV channel basis coupled with active
video analysis against a known reference video stream. This enables
IPTV service providers to assess video quality on an aggregate or
per viewer basis by employing industry standard perceptual quality
scoring based on the ITU J.144 standard with IP based video
extensions such as V-Factor and PEVQ (perceptual evaluation of video
quality).
The addition of real VoIP call generation supporting the dominant
SIP standard protocol means that customers can now more
realistically assess how each application will behave under live
operational conditions in a truly converged triple play environment.
In addition to IPTV/Triple Play application test capability,
diversifEye’s security attack module provides the added realism of
DDoS (Denial of Service), Virus, Worm and Spam attacks and the
emerging wave of VoIP (SIP) and IPTV (IGMP) attacks.
“Anyone responsible for deploying high quality IPTV and triple play
services of voice, data and video needs to be concerned with overall
converged IP network performance and the individual customer quality
of experience,” said Robert Winters, chief marketing officer,
Shenick Network Systems. “Today network resources are being
stretched to cope with shared standard and high definition IPTV,
video on demand services along with a mix of high speed internet
data application and of course, VoIP. Companies rolling out new IP
services need to understand their limitations and Shenick's
diversifEye provides all the necessary tools to increase confidence
levels.”
Availability – diversifEye V3.0 is available immediately.
