Glossary of Terms

API: Application Programming Interface.
IDE: An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.
Index Manager: An Index Manager manages the subport-level resource indices such as stream indices, filter indices, connection group indices, match term indices, length term indices, etc. It automatically ensures correct and conflict-free index assignment.
Module Manager: A Module Manager helps you access test modules. There is one Module Manager per tester.
Port Manager: A Port Managers helps you access test ports. There is one Port Manager per test module.
Resource Manager: XOA Python API HL-API provides an easy way to manage subtester test resources, including obtaining test resources and managing indices.
Test Resource: Test chassis, test module, and test port, both hardware and virtual are referred to as test resources. A user must have the ownership of a test resource before be able to perform testing.
TGA: Traffic Generation and Analysis.
Xena1564: Xena1564 provides full support for both the configuration and performance test types described in Y.1564. It is installed together with ValkyrieManager and uses the same terminology. The simple intuitive GUI makes it easy to connect one or more ValkyrieCompact and/or ValkyrieBay chassis for testing Layer 2 and Layer 3.
Xena2544: Xena2544 offers full support for the 4 test-types specified in RFC2544, and also lets you partially enable one or more test types. Xena2544 supports different network topologies and traffic flow directions on both Layer 2 and Layer 3, as well as both IPv4 and IPv6.
Xena2889: Xena2889 is a free application for benchmarking the performance of Layer 2 LAN switches.
Xena3918: Xena3918 provides an easy-to-use port configuration panel that lets you add and remove ports, and assign IP addresses and port roles. Ports from multiple ValkyrieBay and ValkyrieCompact chassis can be freely mixed.
XOA CLI: Xena Command-Line Interface. Xena provides a rich set of CLI commands for users to administer test chassis for test automation.
XOA Core: XOA Core is an open test suite framework to execute XOA RFC Test Suites as its plugins.
XOA Driver: The foundation of Xena OpenAutomation is XOA Driver that provides Python interfaces for engineers to manage Xena test equipment.
