DHCP Protocol Emulation Software
N2X provides the most complete and easy-to-use solution for assessing the DHCP performance of broadband access devices such as B-RASs, EARs and IP DSLAMs. These devices can be tested for session scalability, session set-up rate, and traffic forwarding/QoS performance
Agilent N2X DHCP Protocol Emulation software provides a comprehensive simulation of subscribers who are accessing broadband networks.
N2X provides the most scalable and easy-to-use solution for assessing the performance of broadband access devices such as B-RASs, DSLAMs, LACs/LNSs and edge routers. These devices can be tested for session scalability, session set-up rate, and traffic forwarding/QoS performance. By emulating DHCP clients and servers, and running traffic to these simulated clients, the testing of edge aggregation devices is substantially simplified by eliminating the need to configure a dedicated DHCP server and thousands of individual clients. This enables network equipment developers and network service providers to design and maintain large scale, low cost, easy-to-use and automated test beds in a small physical space.
Key Features
- DHCP client and server protocol emulation
- Automatically generate traffic (32K streams/port) using assigned DHCP addresses
- DHCP relay agent (Opt 82) emulation
- DHCP over VLANs (single or double tagging)
- Multiple client types (e.g. DHCP, PPPoX, IGMP) on the same port facilitates realistic ‘triple-play’ test scenarios
- Works in conjunction with wire-speed traffic generator/analyzer with QoS measurements
- Supported on all Ethernet speeds – including 10GbE
