Stateless Ethernet traffic generation and analysis

FreyaCompact ANLT Test Appliance

NEW AN/LT TEST SOLUTION!

Xena’s award-winning FreyaCompact AN/LT Test Appliance makes it quick and easy to test AN/LT protocol implementations on 112G SerDes-enabled devices.

The user-friendly GUI lets developers step through the protocols one message at a time to identify possible errors or timing issues in the implementation.

The FreyaCompact AN/LT Test Appliance can also test the true equalizer performance of a remote unit by disabling automatic equalizer adaptations in the tester unit.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie is Xena’s flagship test solution – a full-featured Ethernet traffic generation & analysis platform offering a range of chassis and test modules, user-friendly test software, rich automation options for testing Ethernet devices at all speeds up to 800Gbps.

The Valkyrie test modules are divided into 4 groups based on which SerDes speeds they support:

ODIN

10Mbps > 10Gbps

LOKI

10Gbps > 100Gbps

THOR

10Gbps > 400Gbps

FREYA

100Gbps > 800Gbps

Odin test modules can test:

10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1G, 2.5G, 5G & 10G using 10Gbps SerDes NRZ

Loki test modules can test:

10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G using 10Gbps or 25Gbps SerDes NRZ

Thor test modules can test:

10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G using 10Gbps or 25Gbps SerDes NRZ

+

50G, 100G, 200G & 400G using 56Gbps SerDes PAM4

Freya test modules can test:

100G, 200G, 400G and 800G using 112Gbps SerDes PAM4

Chassis

Valkyrie test modules can be mounted in either a modular 4U ValkyrieBay which has 12 slots, or the 1U ValkyrieCompact with one fixed slot.

The 4U ValkyrieBay offers greater flexibility and scalability. For example it can hold up to 4 x 800G or 72 dedicated 10G ports. The 1U ValkyrieCompact however is easier to transport and suitable for desktop use.

Software

The chassis and test modules are controlled via ValkyrieManager, a Windows GUI client provided for ad-hoc test execution, and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations.

Bundled together with ValkyrieManager are:

  • Standalone applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 testing.
  • ValkyrieCLI, a command-line-interface scripting API with hundreds of scriptable parameters to make test automation easier.
  • ValkyrieTimeSynch for enabling multiple Xena testers to synchronize their local time to each other.
