Overview
Keysight IxNetwork VE is a Layer 2-3 test solution designed to benchmark the performance of various network infrastructure elements including their control plane and data plane capabilities. It emulates multiple networking protocols and generates complex traffic profiles which can measure key performance indicators useful for comparing different networking devices, identifying potential configuration issues, assessing the performance bottlenecks, and ensuring the overall quality of service.
The validation is accomplished by deploying one or more IxNetwork Virtual Test Appliance instances and connecting them to the device or infrastructure under test. All these instances are controlled by one IxNetwork Client which configures the entire test topology and measures the relevant statistics. The tests can be performed via GUI-based execution or via API-based automation.
Ensure your network infrastructure and devices have a correct configuration and can deliver peak performance by testing them with Keysight IxNetwork VE.
Highlights
- Benchmark network infrastructure for various cloud regions and different instance types. Determine the impact of custom configuration settings on network performance. Create complex traffic profiles to measure key statistics such as throughput, loss, or latency.
- Validate virtual network functions like vRouters or vBRAS. Compare the capabilities of such virtual devices between on-premises deployments and public-cloud deployments. Optimize configurations and resource provisioning to achieve maximum performance.
- Expand current test beds from private data centers to public clouds. Scale out your automation framework and run multiple tests in parallel to speed up execution and reduce validation time. Benefit from a unified test approach regardless of private or public cloud environment.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
