The component manufactures are offering a range of off-the-shelf
components including chips, interface cards and switch fabrics
for switches and routers. These solutions significantly reduce
the end-system development, cost and time-to-market. At the
same time, the value of the standard components is increasing
with features such integrated protocol support, making the
off-the-shelf option very attractive to network equipment
manufactures.
The Agilent N2X's powerful capabilities to stress hardware
and troubleshoot problems makes it unique in the industry.
- Generate different types of traffic such as Runt, Jumbo
and Jabber frames to stress hardware implementations.
- Verify payload integrity by ensuring frames/packets are
not corrupted after being forwarded through a device.
- Inject jitter by varying the inter-frame departure times
and automatically calculate the jitter values on received
frames.
- Troubleshoot and isolate difficult hardware problems.
