IxNetwork


Network Topology Testing and Traffic Analysis

Product Menung

as network convergence becomes a single network infrastructure for transmitting voice, video, data and wireless communications, it becomes crucial to use cutting-edge test systems to evaluate functionality, scale and performance. IxNetwork generate line speed traffic and provide services to build simulated, dynamically controlled data plane traffic. By using comprehensive simulation of routing, switching, multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), IP multicast, broadband access, authentication, operator Ethernet, data center bridging (DCB) and software defined network (SDN) protocols, IxNetwork provides the industry's best testing solution for functional and performance testing. IxNetwork through expansion to handle the most powerful equipment and the largest network.

IxNetwork provides custom functions and flexibility to meet the wide range of requirements required by thousands of network devices to test complex network topologies. It simulates millions of routing and reachable hosts, and can customize millions of streams to highlight the performance of the data plane. Powerful GUI wizards and grid controls support the simple creation of complex streams. Its enhanced real-time analysis and statistics can report comprehensive protocol status and detailed performance indicators for each traffic.

Multi-protocol visibility with protocol drill-down and control
