Ethernet Test Tools
Functional Ethernet testing is done during the research and development phase of a product or service. It can cover many parameters depending on the DUT and the application. Using Xena’s products, your range of functional Ethernet testing includes:
- Multicast
- 40/100G PCS and PMA Layer
- Transparent Transport
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
- Microbursts and random IFG
- Synchronous Ethernet
- Automotive Ethernet
- 1588v2 Performance Testing
- Regression testing
- Kernel drivers and NIC testing
- Hardware emulation (ASIC)

CASE STORY Switching to XenaA Chinese switch manufacturer urgently needed a traffic generation and analysis solution to test the stability and performance of different switches in an EMC test environment. The challenge, however, was that their Devices Under Test (DUTs) were located in different labs in different buildings, and on different floors.

EXAMPLE OF USE Network Equipment ManufacturersNEMs face the challenge of efficiently developing innovative products that can “do more with less”, using the latest technology. The stakes are high which means delivering these products – on schedule – requires rigorous testing of myriad parameters throughout the product development cycle.

… relevant for this type of testing
The Case for 25GE & 50GE
Data centers are hungry for bandwidth but strapped for cash. Adding more 10GE equipment is a short-term solution but upgrading to 40/100GE is expensive.
400GE
Learn about the new PAM4 400GE & 200GE data rates and how to verify the performance of network equipment capable of handling the new speeds.
Emulation vs. Simulation for Layer 4-7
Testing with realistic application emulation is about emulating network traffic that contains realistic traffic patterns and content. Which is essential for providing guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS), and high degrees of Quality-of-Experience (QoE).
OpenFlow®
Learn about OpenFlow performance testing and how Xena’s Valkyrie platforms are used to verify OpenFlow performance of switches in SW-defined networks.
Automotive Ethernet Testing
The automotive industry is finally going digital. Initiatives like the BroadR-Reach 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet standard seek to minimize the weight and cost of electrical cabling – now the 3rd largest weight component.
Time Synchronization
Learn how ValkyrieTimeSynch is used for synchronizing test instruments in different locations using GPS, PTP and NTP.
Advanced 4 Layer Replay
Xena Advanced Layer 4 Replay provides stateful replay on top of its high-performance TCP stack, high scalability for performance verification and preserve correlation information across sessions for true emulation.
Putting 2.5GE & 5GE to the Test
This White Paper examines the technical details of the new 2.5 & 5.0GE speeds and then presents Xena’s new Odin-10G-5S-6P-CU test module which can test both the new speeds plus 100Mbit/s, 1GE and 10GE.
