Gigabit Ethernet traffic generation and analysis test solutions
Discover how Xena's easy-to-use Gig-E test solutions can meet your needs - without breaking your budget.
VALKYRIE
Valkyrie is a stateless Ethernet traffic generation and analysis platform that supports all types of performance, QoS, conformance and functional testing at all speeds up to 400GE.
VULCAN
Vulcan generates stateful Ethernet traffic to analyze how firewalls, switches, routers, NAT routers, proxies, load-balancers, bandwidth shapers and so on perform in a wide range of real-world scenarios.
VANTAGE
Vantage is a robust “point-and-click” Ethernet production line test solution for networking devices such as switches, NICs, routers, GPON devices, cable modems, EOC, power modems and so on.
SAFIRE
Safire makes it easy to test the performance of enterprise-class firewalls – when enabling features like antivirus, app-control, IPS and SSL decryption – and document the results in “read-at-a-glance” PDF reports.
CHIMERA
Chimera is an extremely cost-effective solution for emulating different forms of impairment (e.g. latency and jitter, bandwidth control and shaping) between DUTs in the lab – at rates from 10GE to 100GE.
WHITE PAPERS
400GE Performance Testing
The latest generation of data center equipment support the new 400GE and 200GE data rates as well as the slower speeds right down to 10GE – all via the same port. All rates need to be tested, and this poses rigorous demands on traffic generation and analysis solutions.
This White Paper analyzes what is required for cost-effectively verifying the performance of network equipment that supports 400GE and 200GE.
Time Synchronization
Time synchronization of test instruments far apart is required to make one-way latency measurements and multi-site protocol analysis.
This White Paper explains how synchronization of time in test instruments can be achieved with GPS, PTP and NTP. ValkyrieTimeSynch can use all 3 to synchronize time for Xena Valkyrie Layer 2-3 testers.
Testing NGFWs
To rigorously test the performance of next generation firewalls (NGFWs), it is no longer enough to bombard them with dummy traffic.
That’s why Xena developed an advanced L4-7 traffic generation solution for emulating highly realistic traffic streams that can be scaled to millions of users – including a free library of up-to-date application traffic in pcap format.
Automotive Ethernet
The automotive industry is finally going digital. Initiatives like the BroadR-Reach 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet standard seek to minimize the weight and cost of electrical cabling – now the 3rd largest weight component.
Xena test solutions are ideal for verifying the effectiveness of these initiatives. Read more.
Application Emulation
Testing with realistic network traffic places the device under test (DUT) in a realistic network environment and delivers authentic results.
Xena Networks provides an application emulation function and an up-to-date library of selected traffic captured in pcap file format so users can emulate live traffic and test products in a realistic network environment.
TCP Testing
TCP turns the ‘best effort’ nature of IP networks into reliable communication services. Tests are however needed to ensure optimal performance.
This White Paper explains how RFC 6349 based TCP throughput tests and stress load tests give network operators valuable information on network TCP performance.
