The adoption of Layer 2/3 VPNs by service providers is set
to rise due to the attraction of increasing the utilization
of existing IP/MPLS backbone infrastructures to create new
revenue streams. VPN is a sophisticated technology incorporating
various tunneling, signaling and routing protocols and security
features, including MP-iBGP, RSVP-TE, LDP/CR-LDP, L2oMPLS
(Martini) OSPF and IS-IS. The sheer complexity of VPN technology
makes testing the devices and networks that deliver VPN services
an essential yet demanding task. A VPN service must provide
reliable, secure and private connections between remote customer
sites, and transmit business-critical services and applications
with carrier-class reliability and predictability.
Only Agilent N2X can verify the true scalability, reliability
and revenue generating capacity of Layer 2/3 VPN implementations.
- Characterize VPN scalability and performance with
Agilent N2X's unique Topology Builder and multi-protocol
environment that makes it easy to simulate large multi protocol
topologies.
- Validate point-to-point services delivered via
the IP/MPLS infrastructure by simulating legacy services
such as ATM/FR.
- Ensure service reliability by verifying the network
volatility impact on end user and VPN transparency validation
with Agilent N2X's unique 'expected stream value mismatch'
statistic and multi-encapsulation autodetection feature
enables simultaneous QoS measurement of mixed traffic types
and/or varying encapsulations on the same port.
- Revenue generating capacity of VPN implementations
through comprehensive VPN test coverage.
