IxLoad VE vs Spirent Avalanche comparison

IxLoad VE delivers comprehensive functional and performance testing to validate user QoE in physical and virtual networks. IxLoad VE emulates web, video, voice, storage, VPN, wireless, infrastructure, and encapsulation/security protocols to create realistic scenarios. A modular system design allows IxLoad VE to elastically scale with your infrastructure, while real-time QoE metrics let you drill down to quickly identify network degradations and isolate breaking points.

• Emulates data, voice, and video subscribers and their associated protocols for high scale performance testing
• Delivers end-to-end testing of converged wireless and wired application delivery infrastructure and services
• Unique and advanced subscriber modeling enables users to create realistic scenarios to validate subscriber QoE
• Common IxLoad user interface across both Ixia hardware
• Seeks test objective goals automatically, including concurrent connections, connection rate, simulated users, and throughput
