NGY 10GbE FUSION Load Modules
Highlights
The architectural breakthrough of Ixia’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) NGY load modules delivers an industry-leading, high-density, and affordable Layer 2-7, 10GbE IP test solution. Under Ixia’s Fusion program, FUSION-enabled NGY load modules are capable running IxN2XTM applications as well as IxNetworkTM, IxLoadTM, and other Ixia applications. This unprecedented cross-platform compatibility provides an extraordinary value proposition to existing IxN2XTM users in supporting both Ixia applications and the IxN2X application on a high density platform. Also, it allows the user-base presently employing IxN2X and Ixia chassis platforms to leverage their hardware across both. In conjunction with IxNetwork, IxLoad, and other Ixia applications, IxN2X provides support for a wide breadth of protocols and application testing.

Fusion Program The following diagram shows how to extend IxN2X systems for use with Ixia chassis and FUSION-enabled load modules, as well as with Ixia native applications on the same setup, simultaneously (on separate modules).
The TDM distributes timing and events:
Acts as the timing master for all components Distributes events between Ixia chassis and IxN2X chassis
Enables simultaneous operation of Ixia applications and IxN2X applications (not on the same module)
