The gradual migration of IPv4 to IPv6 means that network
equipment must support both traffic types and protocol flavors
simultaneously, as well as mechanisms to transition seamlessly
between the two infrastructures, while meeting QoS guarantees.
Testing whether a device or network can manage and scale both
technologies at once is critical prior to deployment. This
challenging task for both Network Equipment Manufacturers
and Service Providers means that they require test equipment
to validate new network topologies prior to deployment.
Agilent's industry-leading N2X Solution provides comprehensive
and accurate testing of IPv6 devices. Our highly scalable
test solution enables testing of the operation, performance,
and scalability of IPv6 control and data planes simultaneously.
-
Multi-port Traffic Generation and Analysis - The
flexible PDU Builder feature makes it simple to configure
IPv4, IPv6 and tunneled traffic streams and N2X's unique
multi-encapsulation autodetection feature enables simultaneous
performance measurement of mixed traffic types such as
IPv6, IPv4, and IPv6 over IPv4 on each port by automatically
detecting each packet's test payload. These features enables
users to make comparative QoS measurements such as throughput,
latency and packet loss of IPv6 and IPv4 streams simultaneously,
this is a key test for network transition scenarios such
as dual stack and tunneling.

Comprehensive IPv6 Protocol Emulation - Agilent
N2X IPv6 Routing Emulation software integrates the most
scalable BGP4+, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, and RIPng routing protocol
emulation to deliver unparalleled protocol verification,
interoperability and stress testing of IPv6-capables devices
and networks. IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols can be emulated
individually or concurrently on the same port to simulate
extremely large and dynamic networks, and measure how
well the router, switch or network manages unstable, multi-protocol
network topologies inherent in the Internet today.
-
Dynamic IPv6 Network Simulation - Agilent N2X
features integrated traffic generation and protocol emulation
to create a test environment that simulates the scale,
complexity, and volatility of dual-stack devices and networks.
N2X supports the widest range of protocols and interfaces
to simulate and test emerging IPv6 based services on routing
devices.
