IxVerify, developed by Keysight Technologies, is a software solution designed for load testing, specifically targeting engineers involved in chip design for networking devices such as routers, switches, ASICs, and SmartNICs. This tool enables the simulation of heavy network traffic through hundreds of virtual ports, allowing users to effectively assess how chip designs manage various data and protocols, including Ethernet and TCP/IP under stress conditions.

With over 450 pre-configured packet templates, IxVerify significantly reduces the time required for test configuration. It includes sophisticated capabilities like MACsec encryption testing and negative testing, and it can handle traffic speeds of up to 1.6 terabits. The software is compatible with chip emulators and virtual test environments, facilitating early testing phases to minimize costly design errors. Detailed performance metrics, including latency tracking at the nanosecond level, enhance efficiency by enabling teams to reuse test configurations throughout both pre-silicon and post-silicon stages.
