Measuring Network Convergence

Test your network's re-convergence time with Agilent's multi-port Packets and Protocols ApplicationA variety of network resiliency mechanisms are available to ensure that today's networks are highly reliable. These technologies have been developed to enable protection of links and nodes through fast and automatic switching in the event of failures on primary paths. Resiliency technologies minimize traffic loss and expedite recovery time during network failure.

Agilent N2X simplifies the testing of resiliencies technologies including

  • Automatic Protection Switching, (APS)
  • Spanning and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols (STP/RSTP)
  • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and
  • Fast Re-Route (FRR).
