Agilent N2X is the industry's most comprehensive test solution for testing the development and deployment of network services for converging network infrastructures. Service providers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and component manufacturers can verify service attributes of entire networks end-to-end, while also isolating problems down to individual networking devices and subsystems.
Carrier networks are evolving towards a converged IP/MPLS infrastructure to more efficiently deliver revenue-generating services and lower network operating costs. A new generation of carrier-class devices characterized by terabit capacity and new levels of reliability, scalability and resiliency power these networks.
The Agilent N2X solution is the industry's first to
combine leading-edge data services testing with carrier-grade
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 carrier grade 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
carrier grade services and infrastructure.
- Industry's leading multi-protocol emulation and
traffic generation environment,
- Extensive interface range (from Sonet/SDH, 10/100
Ethernet to OC-768c),
- Patented real-time measurements,
- Powered through a versatile GUI
- Fully featured API
Scalability: Test extreme network conditions
The scalable performance of underlying carrier-grade
devices is critical in the network's ability to efficiently
deliver the new wave and density of 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 network 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 port density to cost-effectively
stress the devices and networks
- Most Comprehensive network services coverage including
Layer 2/3 MPLS VPNs, Multicast, VPLS and IPv6 based
services.
- Powerful protocol emulation to simulate complex
real-world multi-protocol environments
- 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
- 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. Furthermore, Agilent
N2X has enabled network services innovation through
the delivery of industry first solutions for VPLS, GMPLS
and most recently 40G.
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.
