MLD Protocol Emulation Software

The N2X MLD protocol emulation can be used to quickly verify channel selection within IPv6 IPTV networks, to ensure IPv6 multicast deployments can meet subscriber scalability and service quality expectations. This software complements the N2X DHCPv6 emulation software and powerful IPv6 traffic generation capabilities to offer a complete IPv6 test solution.

The MLD emulation enriches N2X’s protocol coverage and allows for a complete and integrated test solution for access nodes (DSLAMs), access aggregation equipment (BSAs and Ethernet Switches) and Broadband Network Gateways (BSRs and B-RAS devices). Devices participating in the distribution of IPv6 multicast traffic must be tested at high scale and in the presence of a realistic mix of protocol and data traffic to ensure they will meet subscriber needs once they are deployed.

Key Features

• Powerful MLD Emulation
  • Emulate complete MLD exchanges to verify functionality
  • Scale to thousands of simulated MLD devices per port
  • Support for both MLDv1 and
    MLDv2
    
• Mixed IPv6/IPv4 Network Simulation
  • Combine MLD and IGMP protocol emulations over the same port to create mixed IPv4/IPv6 scenarios
  • Combine IPv4/IPv6 traffic generation over the same test port
    
• Integrated Solution for Testing Multiplay Services
  • Use in conjunction with N2X’s IPTV Quality of Experience Test Solution
  • Test alongside N2X-simulated VoIP traffic and unicast data traffic
  • Emulate MLD and DHCPv6 simultaneously to build realistic IPv6 network topologies
