About IxLoad

Keysight IxLoad is a unified test platform designed to assess the performance, scalability, and security of application-aware network devices and infrastructure. By emulating real-world user traffic, including voice, video, data, and security threats, IxLoad provides insight into how devices and services behave under load.

From virtualized environments to physical networks, IxLoad empowers service providers, enterprises, and equipment manufacturers to deliver reliable, high-quality services by identifying performance bottlenecks, security gaps, and resiliency limits before they affect end users.

IxLoad features
