The LSM10G1-01 is an Ixia 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Services Module for SFP+/XFP/10GBASE-T/CX4/XENPAK/X2. The Ixia 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Service Module (LSM) offers unprecedented scalability, performance, and service testing flexibility. The Ixia 10GE LSM is Ixia's third generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN solution. This 10GE test platform offers a wide range of pluggable 10GE port interface technologies, and enables a broad portfolio of edge/core testing solutions for the most demanding test environments, including performance, scalability, and conformance testing of Layer 2-3 routing protocols and high performance Layer 4-7 testing. It supports wire-speed 10 Gbps IPv4/v6 traffic generation and advanced analysis, as well as IPv4/v6 routing and bridging protocol emulation. The Ixia 10GE LSM supports a comprehensive portfolio of service testing solutions for the next generation service provider networks, including Metro Ethernet E-LAN and E-LINE services; and MPLS VPNs, such as Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 3 RFC 2547 VPNs, and VPLS. Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet port is equipped with 350 MB of capture memory.Key features and Specifications include:
• Flexible 10GE test solution that can be used in Ixia’s standard form factor chassis and in the XM form factor chassis via a card adapter.
• Supports traffic generation of millions of unique flows, eliminating the need to aggregate multiple 10GE test interfaces to perform high scalability tests
