Enterprise networks are evolving with higher density
and complexity to deliver next generation IP services
like IP telephony, video and data over converging network
infrastructures. A new generation of enterprise devices
characterized by the ability to manage an increasing
number of different protocols and traffic types with
new levels of reliability and scalability power these
networks.
The Agilent N2X solution is the industry's first to
combine leading-edge data services testing with network
infrastructure testing and emulation. The N2X solution
set incorporates the strength of the RouterTester 900
to comprehensively verify the ultimate performance,
scalability and resiliency of next generation IP services
under realistic network operating conditions. Including
the ability to stress both the network data and control
planes, the Agilent N2X offers unparalleled test realism
and scalability to verify the ultimate performance of
next generation IP Services and infrastructure.
The N2X offers unparalleled test realism and scalability
to verify the ultimate performance of next generation
IP services:
- Industry's leading multi-protocol emulation and
traffic generation environment,
- Broadest range of protocol emulations (IPv4/6, MPLS,
Multicast, Spanning Tree, VLAN Security, VPLS)
- Extensive interface range (including 10/100/1000
Ethernet and 10G XENPAK),
- Powerful real-time measurements
- Powered through a versatile GUI
- Fully featured API
Scalability: Test extreme network conditions
The scalable performance of underlying enterprise devices
is critical in the network's ability to efficiently
deliver the new generation of IP services reliably and
consistently. Only Agilent N2X, with the industry's
highest layer 2/3 traffic and protocol scalability can
test the ultimate performance of the device's ability
to deliver IP based services.
- Industry highest stream scalability through the
generation and measurement of over 32,000 unique streams
representing customer service levels (QoS) per port
simultaneously.
- Industry's highest protocol scalability to emulate
thousands of protocol sessions and network elements
Industry's highest port density to cost-effectively
stress the devices and networks
- Powerful protocol emulation to simulate complex
real-world multi-protocol environments including MPLS,
VPNs, IP Multicast, IPv4 and IPv6.
- Simultaneously test the control and data planes
Versatility: Test without boundaries
Agilent N2X simplifies scalable performance testing
through unique ease of use features, which simplifies
and accelerates complex test scenario configurations.
This not only reduces the time required to learn how
to use the tool, but also provides users with the versatility
to test without boundaries and get the most of their
testing time.
- Versatile and interactive user interface
- Flexible PDU Builder to build any type of encapsulation
easily (even proprietary formats)
- Topology builder to quickly create complex multi-protocol
network topologies
- Comprehensive API and QuickTest library for complete
automation and repeatability
Innovation: Industry leading solutions
N2X builds upon Agilent's long established reputation
of innovation through continuous industry leadership
in carrier routing test methodologies and test capability.
Agilent N2X has spearheaded definition of test methodologies
and procedures to evaluate cutting edge services such
as Layer 2/3 MPLS VPNs and multicast.
Companion Products
The Agilent
NetworkTester is a highly scalable and flexible
solution for performance testing L4-7 security and content
networking devices. As a companion to N2X, the combined
solution provides best in class testing across Layer
2-7.
