What’s New

The latest Agilent N2X 6.7 system release includes new products and enhancements:

• N2X IPTV QoE Solution
  The N2X IPTV Quality of Experience solution for characterising IPTV service quality under realistic triple play network conditions.   A dedicated IPTV QoE Productivity Application (N5570A) validates IPTV infrastructure scalability limits by emulating thousands of subscribers per port.  The IPTV Generation and Analysis Software (E7877A) enables advanced video stream generation and analysis on the N5570A application
• N2X E7879A MPLS OAM Protocol Emulation
  The E7879A provides the most comprehensive and scalable solution to verify the correct operation of MPLS label switched paths.  The E7879A can automatically verify the operation, performance and scalability of LSP Ping implementations; monitor the health of MPLS systems; and identify and resolve MPLS problems more quickly and with greater confidence.
• N2X E7896A DHCPv6 Protocol Emulation Software
  The Agilent N2X DHCPv6 E7896A Emulation software enriches protocol coverage and allows for a complete and integrated test solution for IPv6 devices such as BNG, BSA, BSR, BRAS, DLSAM and Ethernet switches.  This enables server and relay agent functionality testing to be completed with ease and efficiency.
• Next Generation N2X 10Gb/s Test Cards
  The latest range of N2X 10Gb/s UniPHY  XFP Test Cards supports different wavelengths on the same test card: N5602A UniPHY XR-2, N6203A Ethernet LAN/WAN XR-2 and N5632A UniPHY XS-2.

• New Features and enhancements
  Release 6.7 includes a broad range of new enhancements to existing products which are available free of charge to N2X installations with active Software and Support Agreements (SSAs).   Enhancements range from scalable routing testing, traffic generation, protocol emulation extensions, expanded measurement and capture analysis.  Registered N2X customers can learn more about the enhancements from the Technical Support web area.
