Xena1564
ITU-T Y.1564 Ethernet Service Validation Tool for SLA Testing and Network Performance Assurance
Xena1564 is a Windows-based desktop application designed for analysing synchronous Ethernet and performing service validation using the ITU-T Y.1564 methodology across one or more Xena test chassis. It is built for configuring, executing, and validating Ethernet service performance with accuracy and efficiency.
Y.1564 is an industry-standard methodology used for Ethernet service turn-up, installation, and troubleshooting, offering complete SLA validation in a single test. Xena1564 supports both configuration and performance test modes and is integrated with XenaManager for a consistent user experience. It allows flexible testing across Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks using IPv4 and IPv6, with support for multiple Ethernet services and customisable traffic profiles.
