DATA SHEETNext-Generation Protocol Framework (NGPF)Ixia’s introduction of its next-generation protocol framework greatly improved subscriber emulation capability. Itprovides an intuitive graphic user interface to manage complex access network environments with mixed singleanddual-stack subscribers, as well as mixed subscriber protocols to support triple-play data, voice, and videoservices. With the flexibility of protocol stacking, it has never been easier to evaluate IPv6 readiness, QoS, andservice performance of broadband access devices and access network.Figure 2 - Next-Generation Protocol FrameworkScalabilityEach Ixia test port emulates thousands of PPPoX or PPPoL2TP subscribers and establishes sessions/tunnelswithin minutes, saving significant setup time. For higher capacity requirements, multiple ports can generatemillions of sessions from one chassis, across one or more access concentrators, and all managed from a centralIxNetwork test session.Page 2
