3. What is CDRouter?
• CDRouter™ is the networking industry's leading test
solution for Cable, DSL, SOHO, and wireless router testing.
• By emulating the complex networking protocols used in
both WAN and LAN environments, CDRouter provides a
powerful automated test environment for different types
of test activities including functional testing, protocol
scaling, negative testing, and regression testing.
• CDRouter's in-depth feature set and advanced test control
enables shorter test cycles and greater test coverage while
freeing up your company's talent from repetitive testing.
4. Why do we need CDRouter for testing?
• Test over 50 different IP protocols with one testing
product
• Fully automated testing
• Dramatically reduce testing time with increased
confidence in product reliability
• Reduce the risk of product failure
• Expose protocol issues that are too difficult to test
manually
5. Why do we need CDRouter for testing?
• Create an instant regression testbed for future releases in
development
• Become part of a larger testing community
• Execute tests using web interface or command-line
6. How CDRouter works?
• CDRouter is a software application that runs on Linux.
Once installed, CDRouter can be controlled from a web
browser(BuddyWeb) or the Linux command-line.
7. How CDRouter works?
1. Install CDRouter software on a Linux host
2. Physically connect your CPE device to CDRouter (Eth,
802.11, ATM, T1, etc)
3. Create a configuration file that describes your test
network
4. Start a test run using BuddyWeb or the Linux command-
line
5. CDRouter automatically creates all required LAN and WAN
devices and services
6. Run individual test cases or entire suite once or many
times
7. View your test results

BuddyWeb Homepage
From the BuddyWeb homepage, you
have quick links to Configurations,
Packages, current activity, and recent
Results. All with the click of your
mouse!
9. How CDRouter works?
• Screenshots from BuddyWeb
Live Results
While you are running a test, the Live
Status page is updated in real-time,
so you can see exactly how far along
you are in the test process.
BuddyWeb uses cutting-edge
technology to provide you with easy
access to millions results and logs.

Trace Highlighting
Exclusive to BuddyWeb is the
automatic highlighting, numbering,
and integrated filtering of log files.
By coloring and shading important
lines, or by omitting information you
don't need, you can read and analyze
traces faster, and get back to testing
sooner.
11. CDRouter Automation
• Purpose:
– The matrix test cases can be ongoing without being
interrupted for setting DUT when use CD Router to do testing.
– Testing can run for 24 hours.
– Increasing testing coverage.
– Do not need engineer to care about the testing.
