tdl-xoa-driver

What it is and what it does

TDL XOA Driver is a Python library for automating network testing with Xena Networks test equipment. It abstracts the low-level command protocol into object-oriented classes and methods, letting you write test scripts that create scenarios, generate traffic, and analyze network performance without parsing raw responses. The library supports batch command execution for efficiency, automatic request-response matching with error reporting, server-to-client event subscriptions, and IDE auto-complete with built-in documentation.

The package is aimed at network engineers and testing professionals who need to automate repetitive testing workflows. It has no external runtime dependencies, installs as a pure Python wheel, and supports current Python versions (3.11 through 3.14). The library is actively maintained and carries an Apache 2.0 license, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Use it for:

• Write automated test scripts that configure Xena test equipment, run traffic scenarios, and collect performance metrics without manual CLI interaction.
• Build CI/CD pipelines that validate network equipment behavior and performance as part of continuous integration workflows.
• Develop custom testing applications that generate line-rate traffic and perform detailed network analysis for protocol validation.
• Subscribe to real-time events and notifications from test equipment to react dynamically to test conditions.
• Batch multiple commands to Xena equipment for faster test execution and reduced round-trip latency.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides a Python interface to control and automate Xena Networks test equipment for network testing, traffic generation, and performance analysis.

Yes, if you own or have access to Xena Networks test equipment and need to automate network testing. The library is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, supports modern Python versions, and carries a permissive license. If you do not have Xena equipment, it will not be useful. No known security vulnerabilities.

Install

tdl-xoa-driver on PyPI

pip install tdl-xoa-driver

uv add tdl-xoa-driver

poetry add tdl-xoa-driver

Installing tdl-xoa-driver

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure Python wheel. Active maintenance with a release within the last 30 days. Requires Python 3.11 or later.

License in practice

Apache 2.0 is permissive; you can use this in commercial and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions, provided you include a copy of the license and note any modifications.

Quickstart

pip install tdl-xoa-driver

import tdl_xoa_driver

# Connect to Xena test equipment and interact with it
# See https://docs.xenanetworks.com/projects/tdl-xoa-driver for full API

Requires Python 3.11 or later; also requires access to Xena Networks test equipment to be useful.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package works with Xena Valkyrie, Vulcan, and Chimera models as claimed in the description.
• Performance characteristics and typical latency for batch command execution.
• Whether event subscription and push notifications work reliably in production environments.
• Specific API module names and entry points for typical usage patterns.
