NGY 10GE Fusion Load Modules

The architectural breakthrough of Ixia’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) NGY load modules delivers an industry-leading, high-density, and affordable Layer 2-7, 10GE IP test solution. Under Ixia’s Fusion program, FUSION-enabled 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

Highlights

• Ability to run IxN2X, IxNetwork, IxLoad, and other Ixia applications on a single hardware platform

• Makes the existing IxN2X systems extensible with XM chassis, FUSION-enabled NGY load modules, and timing distribution module (TDM)

• Seamless IxN2X application support with no changes to APIs

• Comprehensive L2-7 testing

• Access to Ixia’s superior L4-7 capability

• 2, 4, and 8 port variants

• Processor per port/user per port

• 512MB of capture memory

• 8-port 50% increase to N2X XR-2

• 4-port comparable to N2X XS-2

• 2-port comparable to N2X XS-2

Fusion Program The following diagram shows how to extend IxN2X systems for use with Ixia chassis and FUSION-enabled load modules, as well as with Ixia native applications on the same setup, simultaneously (on separate modules).

The TDM distributes timing and events:

• Acts as the timing master for all components • Distributes events between Ixia chassis and IxN2X chassis • Enables simultaneous operation of Ixia applications and IxN2X applications

(not on the same module)

IxN2X system controller hosts the IxN2X software application

Optional 1GE switch for high-performance, multi-application testing

Timing distribution module (TDM) acts as the timing master for all system components and synchronizes events between the Ixia and IxN2X chassis

Ixia XM12 chassis with slots for 12 load modules; can be substituted for a portable 2-slot version (XM2), depending on space and scaling requirements

NGY load module with a choice of 4 or 8 10GE ports; supports both IxN2X and Ixia test applications

IxN2X 4-slot chassis and cards; diagram shows 3 chassis daisy-chained together
