IxChariot

IxChariot is the industry's leading test tool for simulating real-world applications to predict device and system performance under realistic load conditions. Comprised of the IxChariot Console, Performance Endpoints and IxProfile, the IxChariot product family offers thorough network performance assessment and device testing by simulating hundreds of protocols across thousands of network endpoints. IxChariot provides the ability to confidently assess the performance characteristics of any application running on wired and wireless networks
