A New Era of Network Testing 

As network infrastructures and devices evolve, your testing strategy must keep up! 

Building and maintaining a reliable and secure network is a high stakes game. Whether you’re a network equipment manufacturer (NEM) who must identify issues before shipping to prevent costly product recalls and warranty claims or a service provider who needs to accelerate adoption of new technology with confidence and validate performance under high traffic, the network is the lifeline of your business. Unplanned downtime comes at a great cost that stretches far beyond lost revenue and productivity. There are also the recovery costs and other intangibles like poor customer satisfaction or a big hit to your valuable reputation. Depending on the cause and length of your downtime, recovery can take weeks, months and even years in some cases. From NEMS to cloud providers, hyperscalers, chipset and optical transceiver manufacturers, and enterprises, your network is the heartbeat of your organization. It provides the connectivity and communication you need to survive. Without a reliable infrastructure, all other IT components and software applications don’t matter. It’s common for organizations to invest heavily in validating expensive business and security applications, yet overlook testing the underlying network infrastructure that hosts the applications and enables today’s emerging technologies. Keysight’s end-to-end network test and security portfolio addresses all seven network layers in the OSI model. However, this catalog focuses only on our L2-3 products plus a couple that provide layer 1.5 support. Keysight’s family of load modules deliver the industry’s highest density and performance Ethernet IP test solutions. Our network emulators precisely emulate real-world network impairment conditions. Our flexible chassis platforms deliver high performance, functionality, conformance, and realistic security testing of underlying network equipment and applications. 

Layer 2-3 Network Infrastructure Testing 

Keysight’s network infrastructure testing applications offer comprehensive network access / switching / routing / SDN protocol coverage, cloud and SP-scale. They also deliver industry standard conformance, compliance and support of benchmark test suites. Our layer 2-3 test portfolio will help you build a differentiated, cost-effective network infrastructure to meet exponential growth in data center traffic across networks. Our network infrastructure testing applications will: 

• Reduce capital expenditures by emulating and testing an exceptionally large scale of hosts/ switches/routers without using real devices. 

• Reduce test time with easy-to-use visual topology based protocol configuration, comprehensive analytics with drill-down, learned information, and test automation support. 

• Cut network operating costs and identify problems in the lab before deployment with realistic emulation of real-world conditions, granular traffic generators, and stateful AppLibrary. 

• Help you understand performance and scaling bottlenecks with unparalleled density, scale, and performance stress testing to take down the most powerful network device(s).
