InfotecsTech Builds Custom Kubernetes-Based Traffic Generator for NGFW RnD and Performance Testing

InfotecsTech developed an in-house traffic generator to support development and testing of its high-performance NGFW cluster in active-active mode. The team rejected commercial solutions from IXIA and Xinertel due to high cost, insufficient flexibility for complex NGFW functions, and geopolitical restrictions. The resulting platform runs on Kubernetes with a master node managing Registry, Discovery, and Crux components while worker nodes host containerized generators. Supported generators include Cisco TRex for throughput and connection testing, SIPp for VoIP scenarios, pyftpdlib-based FTP generator, Yandex Tank with Nginx for live TLS traffic, and Selenium-based legitimate clients against OWASP Juice Shop. Practical scenarios cover VoIP call storms, maximum concurrent connections, 400 Gbit/s UDP throughput, 5 million CPS, and IMIX traffic at 300 Gbit/s with packet loss analysis. The system integrates Camunda for full automation of test scenarios and device configuration.
