IxNetwork vs IxNetwork VE comparison

IxNetwork overview of how it delivers performance testing under the most challenging conditions. Capable of generating multiple terabytes of data and analyzing up to 4 million traffic flows simultaneously, IxNetwork scales to handle the most powerful devices and the largest networks. 

• Offers test coverage from 1G to 400G Ethernet
• Generates traffic flows that mimic realistic user applications and scenarios
• Works smoothly in virtualized network envirornments, and runs from any commercially available compute environment
• Delivers end-to-end test system automation
• Performs rapid isolation of service violations, including thorough traffic-flow analysis

IxNetwork VE is designed to test the functional and performance testing of physical and virtual network infrastructure, capacity, scalability, and convergence using scaled protocol emulation and traffic. IxNetwork VE can emulate protocols for routing and switching, data center Ethernet, software-defined networking (SDN), broadband access, and industrial Ethernet.

• Provides comprehensive protocol coverage for routing/switching, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), broadband access, data center networking, and SDN
• Powerful traffic generation and statistics engine including stateless L2-3 traffic and stateful L4-7 application flows
• Common IxNetwork user interface across both Ixia hardware and virtual products enables end-to-end virtual and hardware based testing from a single pane of glass
• VMs of the Ixia hardware components (virtual chassis, virtual load modules_ are software that is optimized for protocol emulation and traffic generation in a virtual environement
• Comprehensive platform support including standalone hypervisors (VMware ESXi and KVM) and OpenStack-based private clouds
