In this article, we will introduce the features and benefits of IxChariot 7.3 and show you how to download, install, and use it for network performance testing and assessment.

What is IxChariot 7.3?

IxChariot 7.3 is the latest version of IxChariot, a product family developed by Keysight Technologies, a leading provider of network test and security solutions. IxChariot consists of three components: IxChariot Console, Performance Endpoints, and IxProfile.

    • IxChariot Console is the graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to configure, run, monitor, and analyze network performance tests. It also provides various tools and reports to help you visualize and understand the test results.
    • Performance Endpoints are software agents that run on various devices and platforms, such as mobile, PC, Mac, Linux, or in any hypervisor or cloud service. They generate and receive application traffic according to the test scenario defined by the IxProfile.
    • IxProfile is a file that defines the test scenario, such as the application protocols, traffic patterns, network conditions, performance metrics, etc. You can create your own IxProfile or use one of the predefined ones available in the AppLibrary.

    IxChariot 7.3 supports hundreds of protocols across thousands of network endpoints. It can simulate various types of networks, such as wired, wireless, virtual, cloud, etc. It can also emulate real-world applications, such as web browsing, email, video streaming, VoIP, gaming, etc. It can measure key performance metrics, such as throughput, packet loss, jitter, delay, MOS (mean opinion score), OTT (over-the-top) video quality like Netflix or YouTube.

    Why should you use IxChariot 7.3?

    IxChariot 7.3 is a powerful tool that can help you with various network performance testing and assessment tasks. Here are some reasons why you should use it:

      • It is easy to use. You can set up and run network performance tests with a few clicks using the intuitive GUI of the IxChariot Console. You can also automate your tests using scripts or APIs.
      • It is flexible and scalable. You can run network performance tests on any device and platform using the Performance Endpoints. You can also run tests on any network topology and size using the distributed architecture of IxChariot.
      • It is accurate and reliable. You can simulate realistic application traffic and network conditions using the IxProfile and AppLibrary. You can also measure key performance metrics using industry-standard methods and algorithms.
      • It is comprehensive and insightful. You can analyze network performance data using various tools and reports provided by the IxChariot Console. You can also visualize and understand the test results using graphs,
      charts,
      maps,
      etc.
      You can also export or save your test results
      for further analysis or sharing.

      How to download and install IxChariot 7.3?

      If you want to try IxChariot 7.3 for yourself,

      you can download it from the official website of Keysight Technologies. You can get a free trial version that allows you to run up to 10 Performance Endpoints for 30 days. You can also request a quote for purchasing a full license that allows you to run unlimited Performance Endpoints.

      To install IxChariot 7.3,

      you need to follow these steps:
        • Download the installation files. You need to download two files: one for the IxChariot Console
        and one for the Performance Endpoints.
        You can choose the appropriate version
        and architecture
        for your system.
        • Install the IxChariot Console. You need to run the installation file for the IxChariot Console
        and follow the instructions on the screen.
        You need to accept the license agreement
        and choose the installation directory.
        You also need to enter your license key
        or select the trial option.
        • Install the Performance Endpoints. You need to run the installation file for the Performance Endpoints
        and follow the instructions on the screen.
        You need to accept the license agreement
        and choose the installation directory.
        You also need to enter your license key
        or select the trial option.
        You need to install at least two Performance Endpoints:
        one for generating traffic
        and one for receiving traffic.
        You can install more Performance Endpoints
