Ixia Enhances Test Suite for L2/L3 VPNs, IPv6, MPLS Signaling and Multicast

Ixia added a number of routing protocols to its routing test suite, including support for IPv4 and IPv6 Routing (BGP, OSPF, ISIS, and RIP), MPLS Signaling protocols (LDP and RSVP-TE), L2 (Martini draft), VPLS (Lasserre draft), L3 (RFC 2547bis) VPNs, and Multicast protocols (IGMP, MLD, and PIM-SM). Ixia also highlighted its CPU-based traffic generation load modules, which feature a processor per port. These allow users to run multiple protocol emulations simultaneously on a single port. This unique feature enables the simulation of such intricate technologies as Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) VPNs.
