modules. It is a 12-slot chassis with high speed backplane (160 Gbps between each adja-
cent two cards) designed for aggregation across load modules.
XGS12 supports both IxLoad and BreakingPoint software applications. The chassis archi-
tecture supports easy setup and management of high scale, multiuser system. It has a
pluggable system controller for chassis management. Additional applications and load mod-
ules will be supported in future software releases.
