IxChariot is the industry's leading test tool for IP network assessment by simulating real-world applications to predict device and system performance under realistic load conditions. Enterprises and service providers find IxChariot the ideal tool for IP network assessment - enabling them to quickly determine network performance through large-scale networks. NEMs use IxChariot for thorough device testing. IxChariot simulates hundreds of protocols across thousands of network endpoints. IxChariot provides the ability to confidently perform IP network assessment of the performance characteristics of any application running on wired and wireless networks.
White Papers
- Assessing VoIP Call Quality Using the E-model - VoIP requires a single metric upon which to benchmark and tune performance. The E-model, used by IxChariot, provides a powerful and repeatable way to assess a network's VoIP performance. This paper discusses the genesis of the E-model and its use in real-world networks.
- Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS): Conformance and Performance Testing - MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) has emerged as a key core network enabling technology. MPLS brings the challenges associated with any powerful networking technology - validating proper conformance with industry standards prior to production deployment and verifying acceptable performance. This white paper provides an overview of MPLS, and Ixia's.
