Xcellon-Flex™ Combo 10/40GBE Accelerated Performance Load Module

Data Sheets

The advancement of high-density, high-performance network switches, routers, aggregation devices, network appliances, and servers has accelerated since the standardization of speeds from 10GE to 100GE. Ixia has consistently kept pace with the testing demands of network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), service providers, enterprises, and governments by continually increasing port speed, density, and protocol scalability.

Xcellon™ is Ixia’s high-density architecture for testing next-generation networks and devices. Wired and wireless networks are converging over IP, and service providers must ensure quality delivery of the bandwidthhungry, media-rich services that their customers demand. Cloud computing and data center convergence are changing the dynamics of business IT, while security threats are becoming more sophisticated by the day. All of these developments point to the need for more capable and scalable test solutions.

The Xcellon architecture features aggregation of multicore CPUs and massive memory to meet testing needs for ultra-high scale and performance. This architecture delivers several times the protocol emulation of its nearest competitor and breaks the terabit barrier for 10GE test solutions.

The Xcellon-Flex Combo is the first load module in the test industry to offer both 10GE SFP+ and 40GE QSFP ports in a single chassis slot. With 16x10GE ports and 4x40GE ports per module, it beats the competition in terms of port density and flexibility. Using aggregation technology to combine CPU power and memory, it provides ultra-high networking protocol scalability: up to several times the performance of its nearest competitor. Processor resources and memory can be aggregated dynamically across groups of 4x10GE ports, creating up to 4 super-ports per module with maximum protocol scalability.

Additionally, Xcellon-Flex is the only 40GE test product to offer L4-7 application support at high scale. Used in conjunction with Ixia's test applications IxNetworkTM and IxLoadTM, Xcellon-Flex is best-in-class for high-performance, L2-7 testing at 10/40GE speeds.

Together, Ixia’s IxNetwork and the Xcellon-Flex load module supports a comprehensive portfolio of routing and service emulations for next-generation networks, including:

 

Routing & Switching: BGP4/BGP4+, OSPFv2/OSPFv3, ISISv4/v6, RIP/RIPng, EIGRP/EIGRPv6, PIM-SM/SSM, BFD, STP/RSTP/MSTP/PVST+/RPVST+, LACP, PoLACP, LISP (LISP is on 10GE ports only)
