The Agilent N2X IPv6 Access Protocol Bundle (DHCPv6 + MLD) is a powerful solution offering comprehensive test coverage for IPv6 access networks. The E7896A DHCPv6 Protocol Emulation provides the most complete and easy-to-use solution for assessing the stateful address configuration of IPv6 devices The E7897A MLD Emulation can be used to test L3 devices that terminate MLD messages, devices that perform MLD snooping, and to validate IPv6 IPTV network deployments.
Key Features
Simulation of tens of thousands of DHCPv6 clients and MLD devices per port
Control plane and data plane integration
Full emulation of both DHCPv6 client and server functionality including prefix delegation (RFC3736) and DHCPv6 relay agent
Simulation of thousands of MLD devices per port using both MLDv1 and MLDv2
MLD client and querier emulations
Ability to simultaneously emulate multiple protocol emulations (e.g., MLD, DHCPv6, DHCPv4, PPPoX) on the same port
Mixed IPv6/IPv4 network simulation and traffic generation
