ValkyrieManager is a Windows-based application for managing every aspect of Xena’s Valkyrie stateless Ethernet traffic generation and analysis test solutions.
ValkyrieManager test software is used to configure and generate streams of Ethernet traffic between Xena test equipment and devices under test (DUTs) at all speeds up 400Gbps, and analyze the results.
The user-friendly interface makes ValkyrieManager test software an effective tool for performing a wide range of core test scenarios for network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), network service providers, research organizations, enterprise, government and conformance testers.
Below: This screen shows a stream statistics chart where the latencies of two streams are displayed in real time.
The port and stream configuration grids let test engineers quickly view and work with a numerous ports and streams simultaneously.
The traffic streams can be shaped to match very specific real-world scenarios using a wide range of variables. The packet editor function supports both protocol (IP, VLAN, UDP, etc.) and byte-level packet definitions, and the packet capture function can also automatically decode the packet content at the protocol level.
ValkyrieManager also makes it easy to quickly view and analyze traffic statistics, payload errors, latency and jitter. set up specific filters for incoming traffic, and perform real-time capture of packets.
The ValkyrieManager test software offers many ways to streamline testing.
These range from being able to copy and paste stream definitions across ports quickly customizing the GUI to match the test engineers’ needs by e.g. letting them hide irrelevant controls etc so they can better focus on the task they are currently performing.
Once test-beds and test cases have been configured, they can by saved and shared with other users. ValkyrieManager can be used by multiple users in different locations to manage multiple Xena chassis simultaneously.
Following software is included free of charge
More advanced test scenarios can be conducted using the free applications that come with ValkyrieManager:
