Shrinking Schedules• Automation of test cases must be made simpler• Collaboration across multiple teams is crucial• Quality is paramount
Demand for high scale• Tests must be run at high port counts• DUTs must be stress tested with high scale control plane emulations• Carrier Class routers must be performance tested with high traffic loads
Network convergence• Integrated L2-7 testing to ensure network performance• Multi-protocol testing is critical• Tests must be realistic
What is IxNetwork ?What is IxNetwork ?
Ixia’s IxNetwork is designed to test Routers, switches, and Layer 2/3 forwarding devices • Supports running large scale protocol
emulations
• Supports generating high traffic load (at 1GigE/10GigE/40GigE and 100GigE) to verify performance
• Protocols supported include IPv4/v6 Routing, Bridging, Broadband, Multicast, MPLS, Carrier Ethernet and Converged Data Center.
