Xena

The Xena state-of-the art traffic generation engine is capable of accurately emulating large numbers of L2-3 traffic flows with user specified traffic profiles. Traffic headers include IPv4, IPv6, UDP, MPLS, QinQ, and many other protocols, and software applications for automated and easy generation of thousands of traffic streams in large scale testbeds.

Real-time and accurate hardware-based performance statistics per port, stream, and filter for latency, jitter, loss, throughput, and BER, are available from the user-friendly software applications, plus real-time histograms, wire-speed wire-shark based packet capture, ultra-accurate network convergence performance statistics, and up to 800G PRBS statistics.

Advanced monitoring of performance statistics with database logging and real-time graphical charts updated in real-time, is a powerful tool for troubleshooting and product characterisation. Other monitoring functions include transparent port-2-port loop modes (also known as inline loop mode), where all Rx path functions are available such as filter statistics and wire-speed wire-shark based packet capture, and the ability to join multiple multicast groups per test port.

Teledyne LeCroy provides both 1G and 10G traffic generators with advanced clock and timing capabilities for validating and demonstrating Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) networks. SMA connectors on the traffic generators allow for sourcing the reference clock from an external clock reference, and for extracting the received synchronous clock to an external timing analyser with MTIE TIE & MTIE/TDEV charting capability.

Xena OpenAutomation (XOA) is a complete open-source automation and scripting framework.

We provide a range of software applications for IEEE and ITU-T standardised testing as defined per IEEE RFC 2544, RFC 2889, RFC 3918, and ITU-T Y.1564. These test suites are available as GUI applications and have the unique capability to support integration into test automation environments.
