VALKYRIE- Stateless Ethernet Traffic Generation

Stateless Ethernet Traffic Generation And Analysis

 Valkyrie is a full-featured Layer 2-3 stateless traffic generator and analysis platform. It is used to configure and generate Ethernet traffic up at all speeds up to 400GE, and analyze how network devices and services perform in response, making it perfect for most lab-based data-plane test scenarios.

Valkyrie offers a choice of two chassis that can be equipped with an extensive range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet test modules supporting all Ethernet speeds up to 400GE, including 2.5GE, 5GE, 25GE and 50GE.

Valkyrie System Diagram

Valkyrie includes a range of advanced Layer 2-3 test modules for testing all speeds from 1GE up to 400GE – and beyond. These test modules can be mounted in either of Xena’s hardware chassis – the ValkyrieCompact (with one fixed slot), or the 4U ValkyrieBay which has 12 modular slots. The test modules support a variety of interfaces (SFP+, QSFP, CFP4, CXP etc.) and many are capable of handling multiple speeds via simple software settings.

One ValkyrieCompact can hold up to:

  • 1 x 400 GigE (DR4/FR8/LR8)
  • 1 x 200 GigE (DR4/SR4/FR4/LR4/CR4)
  • 2 x 100 GigE (LR4/SR4/CDWM4/ SR10/CR4)
  • 2 x 50-GigE LR2/SR2 optical, CR2 electrical
  • 1 (LR4) / 2 (SR4) / 2 (QSFP+) x 40-GigE
  • 4 x 25G LR/SR optical, CR electrical
  • 6 x 10-GigE copper/optical ports
  • 6 x 5 GigE copper ports
  • 6 x 2.5 GigE copper ports
  • 6 x GigE copper/optical ports

Valkyrie3918 

 

Valkyrie3918 makes it easy to do advanced IP multicast network testing using various frame sizes, either as in-test variations or as multiple test runs each using a fixed frame size. Unicast and multicast traffic can be configured to use the exact protocol headers needed. All fields in the protocol headers can be modified.

Valkyrie1564 

 

Valkyrie1564 makes it easy to validate Ethernet service-level agreements (SLAs) in a single test per Y.1564. It supports multiple protocols per UNI (Ethernet, Customer and Service VLANs, MPLS, IPv4, IPv6, and UDP) and you can define Per-UNI or per-CoS bandwidth profiles, and specify CoS-to-DSCP mapping.

ValkyrieTimeSynch 

ValkyrieTimeSynch is a feature that enables multiple Xena testers to synchronize their local time to each other. This can be used for One-Way Latency (OWL) measurements between two test chassis, synchronized traffic start between multiple chassis and accurate time-stamping of captured packets in exported PCAP files.
