7. 3 Example Use Cases Spirent Automation Platform Technologies

Velocity Software Defined Connectivity • • Enable self-service agility: On-demand, connectivity services Centrally managed: One, easy to use connectivity controller Programmatically configured: Provision connectivity services Intelligent paths: System calculates shortest path connectivity • • Stateful awareness: Show and connect what’s available Abstract devices: Connect to logically defined devices Open standards based: TOSCA, YANG import/export Vendor-neutral: Programmable to support many vendors Velocity UX (Common GUI, API) Velocity Software Defined Connectivity Service L 1 Ethernet, L 1 RF Networks L 2 (VLAN) Networks L 2 -L 3 (e. VPN) Networks Virtual Networks Software Defined Networks v 7. 3 Easily automate connectivity and interconnectivity between legacy and modern network v. RAN, C-RAN, Wi. Fi PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Network Slicing NFV/NFVi SD-WAN SDN 2

SDN Use Case: Major Service Provider Velocity provides seamless and programmable SDN applications • Orchestrate SDN controller • • • Render and connect both virtual and physical network devices connected via SDN controller PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL SDN makes networks more complex Making connection is too difficult/error prone for lab users Velocity users simply draw connections Velocity manages the connectivity complexity under the hood 3

e. VPN Use Case: Major NEM L 1 #1 Feature L 1 #2 Software Defined Connectivity • Completely remote lab in low cost datacenter • Entire lab infrastructure powered by Velocity – Connects anything to anything • Automated 8, 000 port infrastructure • Velocity makes lab scalable and affordable – Using new Juniper QFX 5100 -48 S EVPN VXLAN – Mostly avoided expensive L 1 switches • Top of rack switch in all 200 racks • Eliminates patch panels for Ethernet connections PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Top of rack L 2 switches (1 per rack) DUT DUT DUT Rack 1 Rack 2 Rack N … DUT 4

NEM Model Supports Many Connection Types Point to Point Single VLAN Cloud Multi-VLAN Cloud Connects two untagged ports– appears like L 1 connection Connects multiple ports in a single broadcast domain PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL • Connect ports in fan in/out • VLANs defined by user • Velocity allows VLANs in different topologies to be reused 5

New Resource Analytics Dashboard • Velocity dashboards now expanded with Lab utilization data • Display high-level statistics for lab usage and drill down • Apply custom filters dependent on the data points customer is interested in Typicalpurchase planning • Resource • Regression test selection graphic Use Need • Enterprise Cases Network Engineering PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL 6

Upgraded Taa. S Analytics Engine • Test as a Service Analytics – Highly scalable, open and test environment aware analytics engine – Easily publish our automated tests to Velocity, link to topologies, schedule and publish all data into clustered indexable database Taa. S Benefits: Elastic Scale: Store large amounts of test execution data in a clustered, elastic data lake Trend Analysis: Easily flag test data points to be monitored and trended for faster isolate specific problem areas PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Deep Correlation: Integrate and correlate test execution results with environment states Real-Time Event Triggers: i. Site tap of Velocity message bus, assign real-time automated actions Kibana Visualization: Open format, highly configurable dashboards 7

Taa. S Analytics Dashboard Example Build Taa. S Analytic Dashboards Monitor and trend all your testing indefinitely, link to tests, devices, logs, builds, etc. Easily build Kibana dashboard to track templates Build in triggers and tap message bus for real-time action Developers link scripts to topologies to test and publish their test for scheduled execution With Velocity i. Site, developers can link scripted tasks to real-time message triggers by monitoring the Velocity run-time execution message bus Scale and fast results management Test runs pipe all data to scalable, very fast, open and indexable storage system PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL 8

Simplify Security Automation & Testing • Automated security with Cyber. Flood – Supported by i. Test and Velocity Spirent i. Test • Easily create complex network security automation – Capture, Replay Cyber. Flood sessions – Dynamically connect virtual Cyber. Flood to physical elements, link changes to automation – Response map output to analysis rules – Aggregate all system under test integrations, test cases, all system logs and results for detailed, easy to read, correlated analysis of the entire SUT Link security environments, create automation, schedule testing, manage results New Cyber. Flood Capture/Replay and Response Mapping Session Cyber. Flood Appliance PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Model and instantiate complex physical and virtual Cyber. Flood networking environments Cyber. Flood Virtual 9

Example Use Case: Military Branch • Velocity+i. Test+Cyberflood creates ondemand cyber training environments • Velocity generates enterprise traffic profiles using i. Test + Cyberflood • Mixed legitimate and threat/bad traffic • Physical and Virtual supported environments • Emulating up to 40 remote concurrent simulated territories or security groupings • Enables bad/good guy team exercises Cyber. Flood + i. Test Case Creation Test Case Consumption Test Case Publishing Abstract i. Test Case – Easily creates automated training resources – Self-service access and launch topologies and test/training profiles PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL 10
