High Speed |
|
| Optical multi-speed splitting An invaluable guide that describes how Xena 100GE and 40GE test modules support multiple port speeds depending on different transceivers and, in some cases, splitter cables. | Download |
| Testing 100 Gbps Ethernet Analyzes the challenges of testing 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet. As with any new technology, the key to success is testing, and 40/100G Ethernet presents new issues to the development cycle. | Download |
Benchmarking and Service Validation |
|
| Central Office Testing Examines the characteristics of an Ethernet tester in the central office environment. | Download |
| Stress Testing Switches and Routers A step-by-step illustration of how to perform a simple stress test on a Layer-2 switch device. | Download |
| TCP Throughput Testing Based on RFC 6349 This Application Note describes how to make RFC 6349 based TCP throughput tests with the Xena Networks layer 4-7 test solutions XenaAppliance and the XenaScale controlled by XenaConnect. | Download |
| Testing Minimum Inter Frame Gap (IFG) Explains how to stress test the minimum IFG spacing. | Download |
| VSPerf RFC 2544 Throughput How to benchmark and characterize virtual switch throughput performance for telco Network Functionality Virtualization (NFV) use cases - under the project VSPerf - using Xena2544. | Download |
| Wholesale Ethernet Service Testing The Xena testers enable wholesale Ethernet service providers to cost-efficiently perform service activation for enterprise customers by providing a highly scalable gigabit Ethernet test platform ideal for installation in network edge central office locations. | Download |
Convergence |
|
| Evaluating Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) Performance Outlines scenarios for verifying the performance of Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) in Mobile backhaul networks. | Download |
| Measuring Network Convergence Illustrates how testing your network’s re-convergence time with industry leading measurement precision simplifies measuring the operations of resiliency mechanisms. | Download |

|
| DDOS Testing with XenaManager-2G A step-by-step guide to simulating a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack using XenaManager-2G. | Download |
Synchronization |
|
| Demonstrating and testing synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) networks Outlines how Xena’s Advanced Timing test modules can be used to demonstrate network synchronization, and to perform go/no-go testing of SyncE networks. | Download |
| Evaluating 1588v2 performance Describes a test plan for evaluating the performance of 1588v2 Boundary clocks (BCs) and 1588v2 Transparent clocks (TCs) based on solutions from Calnex and Xena Networks. | Download |
| Time Synchronization Describes how to synchronize the clocks of multiple Xena test chassis. | Download |
Hints and Guidance |
|
| Measuring Frame Delay Variation Describes how FDV is measured accurately and in real time with Xena Networks testers. | Download |
| Testing at 100% load with line rate speed compensation Illustrates how to compensate for small differences in line rates between the Xena tester and the DUT/NUT. | Download |
| Gauges - Meters A step-by-step guide to presenting Xena test results in gauges/meters, using Graphite and Grafana installed on a virtual Linux machine. | Download |
