NGY 10GE FUSION Load Modules
Data Sheets
The architectural breakthrough of Ixia’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) NGY load modules delivers an industryleading, high-density, and affordable Layer 2-7, 10GE IP test solution. Under Ixia’s Fusion program, FUSIONenabled NGY load modules are capable running IxN2XTM applications as well as IxNetworkTM, IxLoadTM, and other Ixia applications.
This unprecedented cross-platform compatibility provides an extraordinary value proposition to existing IxN2XTM users in supporting both Ixia applications and the IxN2X application on a high density platform. Also, it allows the user-base presently employing IxN2X and Ixia chassis platforms to leverage their hardware across both. In conjunction with IxNetwork, IxLoad, and other Ixia applications, IxN2X provides support for a wide breadth of protocols and application testing.
Ixia’s 10GE NGY FUSION-enabled load module with 8 ports, a high-density IP test solution with seamless IxN2X application support
Ixia’s FUSION-enabled NGY load modules deliver high control-plane performance and scalability for both Layer 3 routing protocol emulation and upper Layers 4 through 7 stateful traffic testing.
Key Features
• Ability to run IxN2X, IxNetwork, IxLoad, and other Ixia applications on a single hardware platform (requires compatible IxOS release version)
