IxNetwork

TM


As networks converge into a single network infrastructure that is used to carry voice, video, data,
and wireless traffic, it is critical to use leading-edge test systems to assess functionality, scale, and
performance. IxNetwork provides wire-rate traffic generation with service modeling that builds
realistic, dynamically-controllable data-plane traffic. IxNetwork offers the industrys best test
solution for functional and performance testing by using comprehensive emulation for routing,
switching, multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), IP multicast, broadband, authentication, Carrier
Ethernet, and data center bridging (DCB) protocols. IxNetwork scales to handle the most powerful
devices and largest networks.

IxNetwork offers the customization and flexibility to meet the wide range of requirements
necessary for testing complex network topologies with thousands of network devices. It emulates
millions of routes and reachable hosts and can customize millions of traffic flows to stress data
plane performance. Powerful graphical user interface (GUI) wizards and grid controls allow
simplified creation of sophisticated traffic flows. Its enhanced real-time analysis and statistics are
capable of reporting comprehensive protocol status and detailed per-flow traffic performance
metrics.

IxNetwork 7.0 introduces Ixias next-generation protocol framework that brings multi-protocol
visibility to a new level. It offers an industry-first high-level summary of port- and protocol-state and
the ability to drill down to and control any port, all from a single, visual interface (as shown below).

Advanced Traffic Wizard
IxNetwork on IxVM
IxNetwork builds large-scale emulated network and complex traffic topologies using real-world
routing and switching. IxNetwork's large library of L2-3 protocols allows advanced testing of
multicast scenarios using IGMP, convergence testing for measuring outage duration during live
migration, and LACP.
Protocols
IxNetwork emulates a wide variety of protocols using Ixia's CPU-based test port. Each test port
supports an independent PowerPC CPU running protocol emulations under a Linux operating
system. Using the IxNetwork test application, each Ixia test port is capable of emulating thousands
of routers or bridges with millions of reachable networks and hosts. Users can easily scale the size
of emulated topologies by adding additional test ports. Combined with line-rate traffic generation
and QoS measurement capabilities, the CPU-based load modules verify advertised topologies and
networks for reachability and QoS performance.

Test Results
The IxNetwork statistics viewer is a powerful tool for viewing and analyzing real-time results and
generating test reports.
Aggregate statistics are displayed hierarchically, with the ability to drill-down to group-level
and flow-level statistics.
Different modes to view traffic statistics Instantaneous, Cumulative, or both
CSV files can be used to capture a single results view or, at the global level, to capture all
results in real-time. An integrated CSV viewer is provided to view large-result files.

Streamlined Workflow
The new GUI greatly reduces clutter by organizing actions into context-sensitive ribbons. It only
shows you enabled protocols in the configuration tree, as opposed to everything that is supported
by the application. The configuration options exposed in the GUI are context sensitive, and you
only see the options based on the element in the navigation tree you are on.



Streamlined workflow


Resource Manager
Often expertise for different protocols lies within different members of a testing team. A common
pain-point for our customers was the lack of a collaboration tool to aid them in incrementally
building configurations. With the Resource Manager, users can now piece-meal their
configurations together. The Resource Manager allows users to save different pieces of their
configurations, like protocols and traffic elements, and then build a configuration by re-using saved
elements in their current configuration.



Resource Manager

It also allows users to clearly see changes made to their resources/configurations by using a diff
functionality within the application. Using the Resource Manager is a powerful way to collaborate
and quickly build expertise with a team.
IxReporter
Building a test-results report requires test data. IxReporter 2.0 introduces a new database, referred
to in the application as an object model. The object model is populated by a testing application
(like IxNetwork) with the test configuration parameters and the test results. All of these objects
can be included in a report, usually in a table or chart. With this powerful concept, tables and
charts can be created which combine statistics and configuration information as well as have
multiple protocols.




IxReporter
Automation
IxNetwork provides powerful GUI-based automation with the Test Composer and QuickTests. It
also has a robust feature set for GUI-to-script and API-based automation.
Test Composer provides a GUI-based solution to automate test actions.
QuickTests provides standards-based test methodologies, as well as a custom mode for
user-defined performance tests.
ScriptGen provides an easy, one-click GUI-to-script automation solution, as well as a GUI
to watch running tests.
IxNetwork provides a full-featured API for automated testing.

IxNetworks automation is simplicity at its best. Test scenarios are set up using IxNetworks step-
by-step GUI, and then a single button-press generates a TCL test script. Scripts may be modified
and combined in any fashion. When the script is run, the IxNetwork GUI watches the execution
providing real-time statistics and state information.

Macro Recorder
With Macro Recorder in IxNetwork 6.00, users can quickly and easily record their interactions with
IxNetwork and save these recordings as tests for later use. A user simply turns on the recorder just
before they begin the series of steps and interact with the GUI just as they normally do. When
done, they stop recording. Macro Recorder captures the GUI interactions during the process and
can replay the steps over and over again saving a lot of time.


Macro Recorder

The user can choose to capture the time in between GUI clicks during the recording so that the
pace of the commands is the same when the scenario replays. The user can also choose to take a
snapshot of the configuration they are using so that the scenario always starts from the exact
same condition as was originally configured.
QuickTest
An important requirement of network device characterization is measuring throughput, latency,
frame loss, and back-to-back rates as defined in RFC 2544. Automated tests use the traffic flows
set up by the traffic wizard to perform tests, varying rates and sizes as necessary. QuickTest
features include:
End-to-end wizards for easy step-by-step configuration of test input and parameters
Ability to run background traffic to load the DUT
Integration with the ViperCore traffic and statistics engine
Ability to run RFC test methodologies over routed topologies
Ability to run strict RFC tests or allow users to customize any configured traffic property
after the wizard runs


QuickTest end-to-end wizards


QuickTest Features

Built-In Data Capture and Analysis
Internet protocols are complex multi-protocol emulations even more so. IxNetwork includes a
built-in tool that captures control-plane traffic along with line-rate data-plane traffic, merging both
into a single capture file. The optional Analyzer module is a sophisticated network analyzer, with
the ability to display protocol ladder diagrams. IxNetwork allows you to trigger and filter control and
data plane packet captures based on user-defined packet field.
