WHITE PAPERS
400GE Performance Testing
The latest generation of data center equipment are typically flexible solutions that support both the new 400GE and 200GE data rates as well as the slower speeds right down to 10GE – all via the same port. When verifying the performance of these products, all rates need to be tested, and this poses rigorous demands on traffic generation and analysis solutions.
This White Paper looks at the new 400GE & 200GE data rates and analyzes what is required for cost-effectively verifying the performance of network equipment capable of handling the new speeds.
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. Xena TimeSynch can use all 3 to synchronize time for Xena 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.
APPLICATION EMULATION
XenaConnect improves test results by accurately
emulating application traffic
XenaConnect makes it easy to emulate traffic from any application on the Internet – like
Facebook, Netflix, Skype etc.
This makes it perfect for accurately stress-testing network devices like firewalls
and intrusion prevention devices(IDPs).
We even offer an up-to-date library of pre-defined traffic (in pcap file format) – letting you
quickly configure and generate millions of wire-speed connections – in just a few seconds.
