| Ixia Launches Highest Density Gigabit Ethernet Solution Ixia has announced the new XMV16 LAN Services Module, providing the highest Gigabit Ethernet port density available. By combining the ability to test router and switch performance (layer 2-3) and triple play subscriber experience (layer 4-7), the XMV16 allows Ixia customers to perform more testing in less space and in less time while providing the highest performance to price ratio in the industry. Leveraging Ixia's premier IP test applications, IxLoad and IxNetwork, the new XMV16 LAN Services Module offers unprecedented performance for complete Layer 2-7 network and application testing functionality in a single Optixia XM test system. This architecture provides exceptional performance and flexibility for testing routers, switches, broadband and wireless access devices, web servers, video servers, secure gateways, firewalls, and many other networking and application-aware devices that are required to scale advanced Triple Play networks. Service providers and system vendors can now transmit billions of flows while tracking up to one million of them simultaneously with the ability to perform wirespeed data capture and measure network and application performance metrics. The XMV16 module provides auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet over copper as well as Gigabit Ethernet over fiber. Each of the module's 16 test ports supports wire-speed Layer 2-3 traffic generation and analysis, high performance routing/bridging protocol emulation, and the industry's highest performing Layer 4-7 application traffic generation and subscriber emulation. A single Optixia XM12 chassis fully populated with XMV16 modules provides 192 Gigabit Ethernet test ports in 10 units of rack space. The XMV16 can generate over 240,000 HTTP connections per second (nearly 3,000,000 per chassis) with application layer throughput of 16 gigabits per second for a single load module (192 gigabits per second per chassis). write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
