Ethernet based access, aggregation and regional transport network infrastructures are on the increase worldwide, with many operators already implementing 1 and 10 Gbps Ethernet transmission services between locations and aggregation points.

To remain competitive, network service providers must verify network performance according to SLA, under periods of network congestion, to determine what the real end user can be guaranteed to experience in boundary network scenarios.

The efficient remote IP based management capability, compact form factor, and wire-speed L2-3 stress testing capabilities of the Xena Networks test platform is used to drive the transmission link or network into a full utilization state, scaling into hundreds of Gbps of test traffic across a very high number of network access points

The Xena Networks test platform can easily complement the Layer 2 or 3 performance measurements (throughput, loss, latency) with a simultaneous Layer L4-7 test application, such as a video streamer, to visually verify performance.
