INFRASTRUCTURE
The IxNetwork Routing and Switching test solution provides a rich set of routing and switching protocol
emulations to qualify performance at Internet scale, convergence and failover, restart capability, as well
as benchmarking suites for data forwarding performance. It enables users to stress devices and networks
under realistic conditions, measure key performance indicators (KPIs) to meet deployment requirements,
validate IPv6 readiness of core network infrastructure to ensure smooth network upgrade and new
network creation supporting value-added services.

KEY FEATURES
• Emulates IGP speaking routers, supporting ISIS, OSPF, EIGRP and RIP, advertises a large number
of routes, and simulates complex IGP topology to test protocol functionality, scale, and performance
• Emulates both IBGP and EBGP advertising large number of routes to stress test DUT performance
and policy control, as well as importing real internet routes to validate DUT performance under real
internet routing table
• BFD emulates heartbeat sessions along with routing protocols to validate quick failure detection and
failover recovery to ensure minimum interruption on network failure
• BGP FlowSpec emulation validates DDoS mitigation as well as policy enforcement in SDN networks
at scale with flow match and actions.
• Flexible action sets simulate dynamic network condition with routing sessions and routes flapping to
validate the stability and robustness of the implementation handling abnormal behavior of internet
network.
• Running multiple protocols simultaneously over one or multiple ports along with line-rate traffic to
simulate real network condition
• Emulates Link Aggregation with LACP bundle or static bundle to qualify routing protocols and traffic
over LAG
• Support IPv6 version of above mentioned routing protocols to test IPv6 control and data plane
performance and mixed v4/v6 support to ensure IPv6 readiness of core network
• Emulate PIM-SM/SSM, IGMP/MLD querier and receiver to qualify multicast infrastructure forwarding
and replicating multicast traffic
• Emulate NTP client to validate NTP server function and scale/performance to support large number
of NTP clients
• Packaged RFC 2554, 2889, 3918 QuickTest to benchmark data forwarding performance of routing
and switching devices and end-to-end networks

a delay time (sec) interval
Timed Flapping:
• Based on a timed interval. Default: 60 seconds
State Refresh:
Three modes available:
• Constant mode keeps GenID fixed until a change is made to a
configuration entry

Packed Groups:
• When enabled, all multicast groups are added to one joined/pruned
message. Otherwise, a join/pruned message is created for every
multicast group
Register Encapsulation Traffic:
• For each emulated multicast sender enabled, Ixia will transmit source
traffic encapsulated in register message packets until a
“RegisterStop” message is received. Native multicast data packets
can be configured and generated from the traffic wizard.
