The powerful Traffic Generator and Target Emulator extends the capabilities of the Xgig Analysis and Test Platform to create network traffic at line rate to stress test equipment during development and in-network. Both GUI- and API-based interfaces allow users to control test equipment from simple direct commands to even the most complex regression tests automatically, making the Generator useful across a range of development, device bring-up, debugging, manufacturing verification, and in-field troubleshooting of equipment. The Generator’s advanced capabilities not only accelerate equipment development and troubleshooting, they also maximize tool investment.
- Generates arbitrary traffic for SAS, SATA, STP, and SMP protocol traffic
- 100% traffic verification at line rate with hardware-based compare circuitry
- Supports large-scale networks with industry’s highest port density
- Generates cost savings through support of concurrent users
- Simplifies compliance testing with built-in test suites
- Comprehensively tests equipment limitations
- Accelerates development and troubleshooting through full automation
- Minimizes capital investment through scalable licensing
The Xgig Generator is a licensable option for Xgig multifunction blades. It may be used in conjunction with the Xgig Analyzer and other licensable functions to trigger the analyzer and receive arming signals.
