IxLoad is the industry's most scalable solution for testing converged multiplay services and application delivery platforms. IxLoad emulates data, voice, and video subscribers and their associated protocols for ultra-high performance testing. Unique and advanced subscriber modeling capabilities create realistic scenarios to validate subscriber quality of experience (QoE).

​

Key Features

• Flexible framework offering in-depth features for functional and performance testing
• Emulates a complete multiplay user environment by running data, voice, and video services

   simultaneously
• Models sequences of operations across multiple protocols to model multi-step subscriber

   operation
• Real-world user behavior by employing “think” times, configurable responses, impairment, etc.
• Virtual server and cloud testing through virtual test ports
• Constructs ramp-up, ramp-down user sessions – linear, step, and adaptive modes
• Integrated automation
• Wizards easily create complete tests and network topologies
• Seeks test objective goals automatically, including concurrent connections, connection rate,

   simulated users, and throughput
• Traffic mapping configures IP addresses and VLANs that will send and receive traffic to and

   from each other
• Built-in impairment function with multiple impair profiles allows introduction of latency, jitter,

   and dropped packets, fragmentation, and upload/download bandwidth limit to be applied on

   transmission
• IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
• Uses link layer protocols, including PPPoE, IPsec, and DHCP
• Layer 2/3 authentication mechanisms such as WebAuth, 802.1x and NAC
• Real-world network configurations, including multiple sub-networks, unique MAC addresses,

   802.1q, 802.1p, and emulated router support
