Ixia and NTT Com Test Japan's First 100GBPS Network

100 Gbps Ethernet Test Solution Receives Two Best of Show Awards at Interop Tokyo

IXIA AND NTT COM TEST JAPAN’S FIRST 100GBPS NETWORK BETWEEN MAKUHARI (CHIBA) AND OTEMACHI (TOKYO)

100 Gbps Ethernet Test Solution Receives Two Best of Show Awardsat Interop Tokyo

TOKYO, June 10, 2009 – Ixia (NASDAQ: XXIA), a leading, global provider of IP performance test systems, today announced that Ixia’s K2 100Gbps layer 2-7 network test solution was used to validate a next generation ultra high speed network between Makuhari (Chiba) and Otemachi (Tokyo). Ixia's K2 40 GE and 100 GE modules are the first-to-market test solution that allows network equipment manufacturers to test higher speed Ethernet (HSE) standard-compliant devices at line rate.

During Interop Tokyo, NTT Communications conducted a public demonstration at their booth to showcase their next generation ultra high speed network technology. The company connected the Shownet (an interoperability test demo environment at Interop Tokyo), NTT Communications’ booth and one of the company’s sites in Otemachi, Tokyo in order to test the interoperability and the performance of 100Gbps routers, switches and transmission equipments.

Ixia’s converged IP testing solutions enables users to test the performance of network equipment, Internet service and applications. Its recently release 100 GE testing solution, known as K2, is the only module available in the market today that can test IEEE802.3ba standard-based products. The IEEE802.3ba standard is expected to be ratified in June 2010. K2 modules can generate and analyze full 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps layer 2-7 line rate traffic with up to 1 million distinct flows per port. Module testing capabilities include such metrics as real-time latency, inter-arrival time, packet loss, data integrity, sequence checking and packet capture.

“Ixia is the only company who has delivered a 100Gbps network testing solution at this point. Their solution has the flexibility to provide a real-world environment,” said Kohei Kitade, IP Network Department, NTT Communications. “With Ixia, we are able to test interoperability, performance and features of 100Gbps gear, allowing us to move forward in the development of next generation ultra high speed network service offerings in a timely manner prior to the ratification of IEEE802.3ba.”

K2 modules can measure and analyze the performance of HSE standard-compliant devices at line rate, and are compatible with Ixia's chassis and broad range of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps interfaces, allowing real-world, full product testing in a single box.More information on Ixia or our higher speed Ethernet solutions, please visit www.ixiacom.com.
