Use E100 Chimera to impair Ethernet traffic at five speeds up to 100Gbps to emulate real-world network behavior.

E100 Chimera represents great value with these top features:

• True wire-speed impairment @ 100Gbps (plus 50 / 40 / 25 & 10Gbps)
• Ease of use – E100 Chimera is a stand-alone impairment tool that integrates seamlessly with Xena’s traffic generator, letting you speed up your work flow by using the same SW to both generate and impair Ethernet traffic
• Highest port density in the industry – plus you can reserve individual port-pairs without blocking access to the others
• Setting up custom impairment distributions is a breeze
• E100q Chimera supports a broad range of impairments (latency/jitter, packet & port impairments, flexible distributions, BW shaping etc)
• Powerful, easy-to-use automation & scripting options

Hardware

E100 Chimera is available as a 2-slot test module for the B2400 XenaBay chassis, where XenaManager is used to emulate impairment as part of its standard user-interface.

E100qc Chimera is the standalone version where the test module is installed in a quiet desktop-sized chassis.

Both versions can test 5 speeds: 100G, 50G, 40G, 25G and 10G.

Software

E100 Chimera & – XenaManager seamless traffic generation & impairment When installed in a XenaBay chassis, XenaManager detects the presence of the E100 Chimera and makes the software options available for adding impairment. This makes it very easy for test engineers to emulate impairment via the same GUI they use for generating Ethernet traffic.
