Testing Routing and Switching: Products
Ixia's test solutions include a comprehensive set of routing emulations and powerful traffic generation capabilities. Using the Ixia family of products, an end user can test individual elements in a network, as well as test the network as a whole. Our solutions include comprehensive test libraries for conformance testing, and powerful applications built specifically for high-scale, high performance testing.
- Ixia is the leader in high-scale control plane emulation for IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS, multicast, broadband, Carrier Ethernet, data center Ethernet and bridging protocols
- Ixia offers powerful traffic generation functions with the capability to create line rate traffic at 1 GE, 10 GE, 40 GE and 100 GE
- Ixia offers powerful results reporting in real-time to quickly identify problem areas in a network
- Ixia offers powerful automation capabilities to ensure test repeatability to validate incremental changes in software
