SOLUTION: A COMPREHENSIVE AND SCALABLE TEST SOLUTION

TO VALIDATE ADVANCED MPLS FEATURES
Ixia’s IxNetwork MPLS test solution provides simulation of various MPLS and VPN technologies that
include LDP and RSVP-TE as signaling protocols, various advanced VPN technologies that include
L2VPN, L3VPN, Multicast VPN, Ethernet VPN, as well as MPLS OAM and MPLS Transport Profile
(MPLS-TP). The solution emulates scaled MPLS VPN networks to stress-test provider edge and core
devices under Internet scale and dynamic conditions with the flexibility and advanced operation to test
every aspect of real-world user scenarios.

KEY FEATURES
• Emulates MPLS signaling protocols that include LDP and RSVP-TE to validate basic Label Switched
Path (LSP) and Traffic Engineering tunnel setup capability, as well as fast switching based on fixed-
bit MPLS labels of Ingress, Egress, and Transit Label Switched Routers (LSR)
