Access Protocol Emulation Software

Agilent N2X Access Protocol Software integrates powerful PPPoX and L2TP protocol emulations into a single, integrated solution that provides comprehensive coverage of the protocols used in broadband access 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 PPPoX & L2TP client sessions and running traffic over those sessions, the testing of these edge aggregation devices is substantially simplified by eliminating the need to configure 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

• Fully qualify edge aggregation devices such as B-RAS,DSLAM, LAC, LNS and L2TP Tunnel Switches (L2TS) priorto use in a real network
• Determine whether your edge aggregation device can authenticate subscribers and set up PPP user sessions correctly
• Establish the maximum scalability of your edge aggregation device or network by setting up thousands of sessions and tunnels
• Determine the maximum session or tunnel setup rates of your device, and verify the capability of your network to handle bursts of session setup requests
• Verify the QoS capabilities of your device by generating emulation with integrated wire-speed traffic wire-spee traffic over every user session and tunnel
