IPv6 deployment testing with support for Dual-Stack Lite

Shenick continues to lead IPv6 deployment testing with support for Dual-Stack Lite
DiversifEye now provides fully stateful, per-flow IP application testing for Dual-Stack Lite.

Shenick Network Systems, the global award winning provider of per-flow, IP communications test systems, has enhanced the functionality of its diversifEye product line by enabling tunneling of IPv4 traffic flows over IPv6. The new software release offers the first opportunity to test Dual Stack Lite deployments at application traffic layers. diversifEye is used to emulate stateful IPv4 application flows over IPv6 tunnels, along with measuring performance and quality or experience (QoE) on each and every tunneled application flow.

"IPv6 is finally coming of age and therefore a pragmatic approach to dealing with dual stack deployments requires a carefully crafted quality and performance test approach in real application environments, as offered by Shenick's diversifEye" said Olga Yashkova, Analyst, Test & Measurement, Frost & Sullivan.

Robert Winters, CMO, Shenick said, "Dual-Stack Lite is becoming a popular IPv6 migration choice as it utilizes both the existing IPv4 address architecture and the new IPv6 address scheme to connect existing and next generation services. Service Providers migrating to IPv6 with a Dual-Stack Lite approach must deliver a high level of reliability and quality of end user experience".

Shenick diversifEye is used to emulate a wide range of end-point test configurations and scenarios; IPv4 only, IPv6 only and mixed IPv4/IPv6 all with stateful application traffic flows such as video, voice, web, email and P2P. diversifEye provides performance, QoS/QoE measurements on each each and every emulated flow. diversifEye's per flow capabilities means any number of application traffic flows may be added to a single tunnel, which in turn can be expanded to hundreds of tunnels, testing the scalability and reliability of the tunnel concentrator.
