A variety of test application scenarios are supported, including IPTV, Video on Demand,  triple play (video, voice, data), network security, P2P, traffic shaping, and also IPv4 and IPv6 Internet protocols. 

“Shenick Network Systems has established itself as a key player within the DPI test equipment market,” said Olga Yashkova, communication test sector analyst, Frost & Sullivan.  “Due to Shenick’s impressive growth, customer base, global presence, and most importantly, unique and innovative per-flow technology, Shenick is the worthy recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2008 Global Technology Innovation Award in the DPI Test Equipment market.”.
