Testing the maximum performance of network equipment is critical for both router development companies and network service providers. Now, Agilent N2X has made scalability testing more cost-effective, simple and realistic. Agilent N2X is the industry’s most comprehensive test solution for testing the development and deployment of network services for converging network infrastructures. Service providers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and component manufacturers can verify service attributes of entire networks end-to-end, while also isolating problems down to individual networking devices and subsystems.
Agilent N2X incorporates the strength of the RouterTester 900 to deliver unparalleled test realism to verify the ultimate performance, scalability and resilience of carrier grade services and infrastructure. The XS Test Cards for the Agilent N2X product family offer the highest protocol scalability in the industry, allowing you to simulate more routing peers than ever before. This ensures that you find your equipment’s limits before your customers do.
Each XS Test Card can simulate up to 2100 BGP peers, 1000 LDP sessions, 400 ISIS sessions, and 500 OSPF or RIP sessions. When combined with additional Routing XS Test Cards, the possibilities for scalability testing are nearly endless. Like the XR Test Cards, the XS Test Cards provide a full complement of N2X features. Each card provides fully integrated traffic and routing support, making it quick and easy to generate traffic to advertised routes. Full MPLS support is also provided for testing technologies such as Layer 2/3 MPLS VPNs, multicast and IPv6.
