                      Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
                      Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
                      Windows 2008 Server R2 standard 64-bit 
            
            NOTE: IxANVL supports the US English versions of the Windows OS. Although,
                  IxANVL may run on other versions of  Windows OS, they are not 
                  officially supported by Ixia. If you attempt to install or run 
                  IxANVL on any version of Windows OS other than the U.S. English 
                  versions, the IxANVL installation or operation may fail.

            
Linux OS:    CentOS5.9 (32 bit) with kernel 2.6.18-348.el5xen 
                   RHEL5.9 (32 bit) with kernel 2.6.18-348.el5 
                   Centos 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.e15xen 
                   CentOS-6.5  (64 bit) with kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64

DEPRECATED OS:  Windows 2003 Server (32 bit) 
                                Windows XP Professional (32 bit) 
                                Windows 2008 Server Enterprise SP2 (32-bit) 

Important Note: 
            Java has a known caveat that requires an extra rpm file, 
            xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-31.i386.rpm, that sometimes is not 
            installed by default on an RHE 5.0 machine. As the IxANVL installer
            is a Java-based application, it is required that this file be installed 
            in order to function normally. Please refer to the Linux installation
            notes below for a workaround to fix this problem.
