CDRouter® Expansions

Powerful automation framework and IPv4 test cases for a host of network-enabled CPE

CDRouter's core features include our powerful automation framework, easy to use web API, configuration and package editor, and hundreds of industry standard test cases designed for broadband gateways, Wi-Fi access points, and other CPE.

Fully automated cable modem and eRouter testing

CDRouter simulates the network services required for a fully featured DOCSIS network, letting you test cable modems and eRouters through any CMTS. This plus new test cases that exercise configuration, routing, application, and performance metrics in a repeatable, automated environment that makes cable/MSO testing simple. For RDK developers, CDRouter is the quickest, easiest way to fully test your implementations at every stage of your product lifecycle and go to market with your RDK-B based solutions faster than ever before.

Specialized testing for IPv6 on CPE and other connected devices

Are you making the transition to IPv6? Are your customers demanding dual-stack functionality in your CPE products? Get access to all of the WAN-side and LAN-side network elements necessary to simulate a complete IPv6 test environment within a single test platform.

Fully automated multi-service WAN and Wifi scalability testing

CDRouter Multiport gives you the power and flexibility to test multiple interfaces, whether on the WAN or the LAN. This makes it perfect for multi-service environments testing voice, video, and data together or exercising the scalability of your Wifi access point.

Are your devices up to speed?

CDRouter Performance combines the powerful and standardized functionality testing of CDRouter with the ability to run stateful, line-rate traffic through your device under test. This lets you prove that device functions don’t impact network performance, that QoS policies set up on the device perform properly, and that a device’s performance does not degrade over time.

The official Certification Tool for prpl Certification

CDRouter’s prpl Certification expansion provides the most up-to-date test cases, setups, and functionality needed to achieve prpl Certification for your products. QA Cafe works directly with the prplFoundation Certification working group to ensure CDRouter includes the latest approved prpl test plans. The prpl Certification is rapidly evolving, so an active CDRouter is the best way to stay up to date with the latest requirements - our success team will make this easy for you! 

Please note that future prpl Certification updates are subject to change by the prpl Foundation and may require additional CDRouter test coverage. Learn more about certification at prplfoundation.org.

Trust. Confidence. Visibility.

Internet security is serious and breaches are expensive. Today's hackers are targeting home gateways and connected devices for exploits. Protect your customers, avoid brand damage and increase quality by finding flaws and weaknesses before they do.

CDRouter Security is a revolutionary way to improve quality and strengthen your product’s positioning as advanced, robust, and secure. It includes Nmap port scanning, security feature test cases like parental controls, and a unique traffic analysis capability.

VPN and IPsec testing

For security gateways that support VPN and IPSEC tunnelling, the IKE module lets CDRouter simulate hosts connecting through these IKE based features to ensure that your device’s VPN connections are secure and robust.

Fully automated NAS and embedded storage testing

CDRouter provides test coverage for both stand-alone NAS (network attached storage) devices and NAS functionality that is built into your home gateway or other devices. With support for file system and transfer protocols such as SMB/CIFS, FTP, and FTPS, CDRouter is the industry standard for repeatable, automated testing of your device’s storage capabilities, whether internally or externally.

A fully automated NMS simulator for broadband and DOCSIS CPE

Many broadband devices in the home or business support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for device management. With support for standard SNMP PDUs and MIBs specific to broadband gateways, DOCSIS cable modems, and eRouters, CDRouter can ensure your DUTs SNMP support reliably from one firmware to the next.

The official, fully-automated, BBF USP/TR-369 testing and certification tool

Built by experts deeply involved in USP, CDRouter USP expansion is the official test solution for self-certifying USP Agents through the Broadband Forum's USP Agent Certification Program, fully automated and ready to use.

Understanding Wi-Fi performance at different signal strengths is in high demand, but traditional high-end solutions can be too complex and expensive for routine testing. The CDRouter® Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion simplifies RvR testing by integrating programmable attenuation directly into CDRouter’s automated test framework. This expansion delivers a cost-effective, repeatable, and real-world approach to Wi-Fi performance validation - all within the platform you already trust.
