Chapter 1: Platform and Reference Overview

The Ixia system is the most comprehensive tool available for testing multilayer 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Ethernet Gigabit, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and Packet over SONET switches, routers, and networks.

The Ixia product family includes chassis, load modules, the Ixia IxExplorer software program, and optional Tcl scripts and related software. A chassis can be configured with any mix of load modules, and multiple chassis can be daisychained and synchronized to support very large and complex test environments. The Ixia IxExplorer software provides complete configuration, control, and monitoring of all Ixia resources in the test network, and the Tcl scripts allow to rapidly conduct the most popular industry benchmark tests.

The Optixia XM12 provides high port density and hot swappable capability. The Optixia XM2 provides hot-swappable capability in a more portable format. The Optixia X16 chassis also provides hot-swappable capability for up to 16 load modules.

The Optixia XL10 offers the highest port density with support for up to 240 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 54 10-GbE ports in a single chassis. Other chassis models are the IXIA 400T (supports up to four load modules), the IXIA 250 (supports one built-in module and two extra modules), and IXIA 100 (supports one card). Depending on network technology, one to 48 ports can be packaged on a card. A card is also referred to as a load module. For most media, any combination of load modules may be included in a single chassis. The highly scalable architecture supports daisy-chaining of up to 256 chassis that may be locally synchronized. Thus, even the most complex systems can be tested thoroughly and cost-effectively.

You can configure and control the unit directly through connections to a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and printer. Also, the unit can be connected to an Ethernet network, and an administrator can remotely monitor and control it using the IxExplorer software program. Multiple users can access the unit simultaneously, splitting the ports within a chassis and controlling the activity and configuration of all ports and functions.

Front panel displays give immediate indication of link state, transmission or reception of packets, and error conditions.

Ixia produces a number of load modules which provide data transmission and reception capabilities for a variety of Ethernet, ATM, and Packet Over Sonet (POS) speed and technologies. These load modules reside in an Ixia chassis, which provide different numbers of load module slots and power. This chapter introduces the Ixia hardware components. The Ixia chassis and load modules are compared and contrasted.

Ixia Chassis

XG12 Chassis: The XG12 Chassis is the next generation high performance chassis platform capable of supporting next generation load modules. It is a 12 slot chassis with increased power and airflow delivery along with reservations for increased performance to the card. The 12-slot platform allows for higher port density load modules.

XGS12 Chassis: The XGS12 Chassis is the next generation high performance platform capable of supporting all XM form factor load modules, including full chassis configurations of the Xcellon load modules. It is a 12-slot chassis with highspeed backplane (160 Gbps between each adjacent two cards) designed for aggregation across load modules.

Optixia XM12 Chassis: Capable of holding up to 12 Ixia load modules and equipped with extra power and fans required for high-powered load modules. Supports higher port density. Modules can be inserted and removed from the chassis without shutting the chassis down, and a load module can be removed without impacting the processes of other load modules. An optional Sound Reducer (PN 943-0021) can be installed on the rear of the XM12 chassis, to reduce the fan noise by approximately 10 dB. The XM12 High Performance version (PN OPTIXIAXM12-02) has two 2.0 kW power supply; the standard XM12 version has two 1.6 kW power supply.

Optixia XM2 Chassis: Capable of holding two Ixia load modules and equipped with extra power and fans required for some high-powered load modules. Supports higher port density. Modules can be inserted and removed from the chassis without shutting the chassis down, and a load module can be removed without impacting the processes of other load modules.

Optixia X16 Chassis: Capable of holding up to 16 Ixia load modules and equipped with extra power and fans required for some high-powered load modules. Modules can be inserted and removed from the chassis without shutting the chassis down, and a load module can be removed without impacting the processes of other load modules.

Optixia XL10 Chassis: Capable of holding a combination of high-density Ixia load modules with 24 ports. It supports up to 240 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. It is equipped with redundant power supplies. Modules can be inserted and removed from the chassis without shutting the chassis down, and a load module can be removed without impacting the processes of other load modules. The Optixia XL10 chassis includes sufficient power and airflow to support high-powered load modules.

IXIA 400T Chassis: Capable of holding up to four Ixia load modules and equipped with extra power and fans required for some high-powered load modules.

IXIA 250 Chassis: A portable Field Service Unit (FSU) which includes a single port (either copper 10/100/1000 or fiber 1000) and capable of holding up to two additional Ixia load modules. May optionally be equipped with a built-in CDMA receiver.

IXIA 1600T Chassis: Capable of holding up to 16 Ixia load modules and equipped with extra power and fans required for some high-powered load modules.

Ixia 100 Chassis: The IXIA 100 is capable of holding one Ixia load module and includes a built-in GPS or CDMA receiver.

All Ixia chassis have the ability to hold one or more standard load modules. Ixia load modules provide media dependent and independent ports to Devices Under Test (DUTs). Any of the chassis may be daisy-chained and provide synchronized operations. The IXIA 100 chassis includes timing provisions based on GPS which allows accurate worldwide synchronization without local inter-chassis connections.

Each chassis contains a self-contained computer running Windows XP Professional™ and includes a 10/100/1000MB network interface and local disk. They may include a floppy drive, a CD-ROM drive, or DVD-ROM drive. A chain of chassis may be controlled through a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly connected to any of the chassis or remotely through the network interface card. Multiple users may safely share ports in a chassis chain. Several of the high-end load modules consume more power and generate additional heat. Only a limited number of such modules may be used in selected chassis. The basic characteristics of these chassis are compared in Table 1-1 on page 1-4. The process of initial chassis configuration is explained in Chapter 1, Platform and Reference Overview. Each chassis is further described in its own chapter.

Ixia Load Module Properties

The Ixia load modules, or load modules, support a wide range of features, which are described in Table 1-5.

The full set of supported features per card is described in the spreadsheet Port Features by Port Type on the Ixiacom.com website, under Support/User Guides/Spreadsheets.

Table 1-5. Ixia Load Module Feature Descriptions
Feature Category	Feature	Usage
Basic	Local CPU	Each port on the card is supported by an individual CPU for use in protocol server and other sophisticated operations.
	Layer 2/3 Only	The card only supports Layer 2 and 3 control and operation. No protocols except ARP and PING are supported.
	Layer 7 Only	The card only supports Layer 7 usage through the local CPU. This type of card is generally only useful for application testing as in IxLoad and Chariot.
Statistics Selection	Checksum errors (IPv4/TCP/UDP)	Support generation and checking of special checksums for IPv4, TCP, and UDP packets.
	Data integrity	Supports data integrity generation and checking.
	Tx Duration	Supports the generation of a transmit duration statistic.

	Latency S&Fwd LB to FP	Latency measurement offers the option of measuring the time from last data bit out to first preamble bit in
	Inter-arrival Jitter	Inter-Arrival Time (IAT) compares the time between PGID packet arrivals. In this case, when a packet with a PGID is received, the PGID is examined. If a packet has already been received with the same PGID, then the timestamp of the previous packet is subtracted from the current timestamp. The interval between the timestamps is the jitter, and it is recorded for statistical purposes.
	Delay Variation	Offers the option of measuring variation between latency of consecutive frames.
	MEF Frame Delay	Measurement method: First data bit in to DUT; last data bit out of DUT.
	Forwarding Delay	Measurement method: Last data bit in to DUT; last data bit out of DUT.

	Round-trip flows	Supports calculation of round-trip flows.
	Data integrity	Supports data integrity generation and checking.
	First time stamp	Supports first time stamp operation.
	Tx/Rx Time Stamp Mode	Allows the system to use the time stamp of the last bit of the packet; this is useful when multiple rates are present in the network topology.

Number of captured packets, an important characteristic, cannot be expressed as a simple number. It is dependent on a number of factors as mentioned in the following list:

Size of the capture buffer

Size of the captured packet

Size of the capture slice, set by you

Memory used by other functions

Memory overhead per captured packet

To get an idea of the memory available for packet capture, a set of simple experiments can be run. For example, Table 1-7 indicates the measured number of packets captured for different packet sizes. The type of card used is an LM100TX, which has a 2MB capture buffer. The buffer slice is set to 8191.

Table 1-7. Measured Number of Packets for an LM100TX Card
Packet Size	Number of Packets Captured	Memory Used by Captured Packets
64 bytes	18,668	1,194,752
1K bytes	1,698	1,738,752
4K bytes	436	1,785,856
8K bytes	219	1,794,048

The experiment indicates that there is approximately 1.8 MB available for data capture.
