VPLS test suite
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 4/1/2004
Ixia's virtual private LAN services (VPLS) test suite simplifies the setup and administration of VPLS testing by providing an automated environment that both service providers and network equipment manufacturers can use to stress and validate VPLS devices and systems. The software can determine the data forwarding performance and control plane scalability of routers in VPLS networks, automating the complex setup of multiple protocols and data traffic required to test these systems. It also includes tests that analyze the Ethernet address capacity and learning rate of the router to determine system scalability. The test suite is delivered as part of the IxScriptMate application, a graphical test automation platform for testing routing, switching, QoS, multicast, MPLS, and Ipv6 tunnelling.
