Xena Test Modules
Xena Test Modules
The Xena platform includes over a dozen Ethernet traffic generators & a network emulation module
Test Modules
Xena test modules are divided into five groups: Odin, Loki, Thor, and Freya generate and analyze Ethernet traffic based on the SerDes speeds they support, while Chimera emulates networks. All include extensive Physical Layer test capabilities.
E100 Chimera
E100 Chimera simulates real network behaviors, providing Ethernet impairment testing up to 100Gbps. It supports five different speeds (10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50Gbps, and 100Gbps) for perfect real network behavior simulation.
E100 Chimera delivers exceptional value with the following premium features:
- True line-rate impairment simulation @ 100Gbps, supporting both NRZ and PAM4 technologies for line-rate traffic impairment testing at 10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50Gbps, and 100Gbps.
- Easy to use - E100 Chimera is a standalone traffic impairment simulator that seamlessly integrates with Xena's traffic generators, accelerating workflows by using the same software for both traffic generation and impairment.
- Industry's highest port density - Individual port pairs can be reserved independently without affecting access to other ports, enhancing testing flexibility.
- Custom impairment configuration - Straightforward traffic impairment distribution operation.
- Supports various impairment tests, including latency/jitter, packet and port impairments, flexible distribution, bandwidth shaping, etc., meeting diverse requirements.
- Powerful automation and scripting options - Provides efficient and user-friendly automation and scripting capabilities for simpler and more efficient testing.
E100 Chimera is ideal for simulating real network behaviors, helping you enhance testing efficiency and perfect network performance analysis.
