High-Density 10G/1G/100M Multi-Rate Ethernet Test in One Load Module!
Keysight's Novus-NP 10/1 family of load modules offers complete Layer 2-7 (L2-7) network and application testing in a single system.
Novus-NP combines the innovative Novus load module architecture with the Keysight’s unique NP (network processor) technology to create a highdensity, scalable, and high-performance application traffic generation platform.
Capable of emulating up to 40G of application traffic and generating and analyzing wire-speed Layer 2-3 traffic on its 16 dual-PHY ports (SFP+ and 10GBaseT RJ45), Novus-NP is the efficient platform for creating ultra-high-density test environments for 10GE/1GE/100M Ethernet over copper and fiber. A single 12-slot Keysight chassis supports up to 192 10GE/1GE/100M test ports and can generate up to 480Gpbs of stateful traffic.
Novus-NP 10GE/1GE/100M load modules are available in two different models to match your requirements and budget:
• NOVUS-NP 10/1GE16DP: A full-featured 16-port, Dual-PHY (RJ45 and SFP+) 10GE/1GE/100M load module designed for high-density testing.
• NOVUS-NP 10/1GE8DP: A full-featured 8-port, Dual-PHY (RJ45 and SFP+) 10GE and 1GE load module designed for high-density application delivery and switch testing. To support evolving test needs, users can perform a software field-upgrade to a full 16-port NOVUS-NP 10/1G16DP load module.
Highlights
• Unified network infrastructure and application test platform, with Layer 2-7 test capabilities
• Broader coverage of L4-7 protocols including video, voice, storage, and access
• Industry’s highest-density Dual-PHY SFP+/10GBASE-T RJ45 solution
• High-performance multiplay traffic with real subscriber behavior emulation

• Tri-speed 10GE/1GE/100M ports provide low total cost of ownership and high ROI
Key Features
• High-performance Layer 4-7 testing by using Keysight’s IxLoad application—up to 40G bidirectional application throughput per load module
• Ultra-high scale and performance for emulating L2/3 protocols to validate performance and scalability of L2/3 routing/switching and data center test cases by using Keysight’s IxNetwork application
• Full line-rate traffic generation to evaluate ASIC designs, FPGAs, and hardware switch fabrics
• Support for testing SFP+ and 10GBase-T RJ-45 copper ports at different speeds simultaneously on the same load module
• Industry-standard RFC tests and protocol emulation in large test bed with hundreds of 10G, 1G, and/or 100M ports in a single test—to benchmark data plane and performance and scale of ultrahigh-density network equipment
• 10G, 1G, and 100M line-rate hardware packet capture and decode tools to detect and debug data transmission errors
• Application support for IxExplorer, IxNetwork, IxLoad, and the related Tcl and automation APIs
• Support for a broad range of IxLoad L4-7 application layer testing including voice, video and access protocols
• Flexible 4:1 CPU and memory aggregation, for high-scale protocol emulation and performance
• Flexible custom packet generation
• Real-time latency with latency resolution of up to 2.5ns
• Extensive port and traffic flow statistics
• Advanced sequence checking with duplicate packet detection
Novus-NP 10GE/1GE/100M brings a new level of performance with a broad range of coverage of all the most popular features of IxNetwork and IxLoad applications.
