Modular Ethernet Layer 2-3 Traffic Generator and Analyzer

The Xena ValkyrieBay test chassis offers high density and low power consumption per test port making it ideal for providers of Ethernet-based network devices and services looking for ease-of-use, cost efficiency, interoperability, and scalability.

The 4U unit features 12 slots and accepts Xena’s complete range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet and 10/40/100/200/400-Gigabit Ethernet modules. The 10/40/100-GigE interfaces include optical QSFP+, SFP+, XFP, SR4, LR4, and SR10. The GigE interfaces include copper 10/100/1000M Ethernet and optical 100/1000M Ethernet.

ValkyrieBay can be deployed together with or as an alternative to test equipment from Ixia and Spirent, at a price point which obsoletes in-house custom built test solution projects.

The high precision, stream based, wire-speed traffic generation and analysis capabilities make it ideal for testing network devices under deliberate error, stress, and random conditions. Packet formats can be defined per individual packet byte, and packet spacing, transmission rates, and bursts can be defined with byte and kbps accuracy.

Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can demonstrate that end user triple play QoE is guaranteed during network congestion, by generating traffic loads representing tens of thousands of individual network users.
