Ixia has released IxChariot 5.0, the first Ixia-developed product based on the acquisition of NetlQ's Chariot source code. By seamlessly integrating Ixia's stream generation capabilities, IxChariot offers expanded IPv6 functionality, and is capable of emulating transaction rates at high speeds.

IxChariot integrates all current NetIQ Chariot features with a range of Ixiadesigned functionality into a single software release for Ixia hardware, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and PC platforms.

"The IxChariot Release 5.0 gives IT departments visibility into how their networks will perform when advanced services such as multicast, video on demand, or voice over IP are deployed," said David Anderson, senior vice president, worldwide sales and business development for Ixia. "Additionally, network equipment manufacturers can now use IxChariot to emulate the transaction environment found in an enterprise network to fully verify the performance characteristics of their devices in real time."

Network equipment manufacturers, ISPs, and carriers, as well as enterprise LAN administrators, can simultaneously generate and measure the impact of Ixia's Layer 2/7 traffic generation concurrently with IxChariot's VoIP, Cisco IPTV, Oracle, SAP or other customer-specific enterprise application traffic.
