This module tests Ethernet traffic in its native format: 10/100/1000Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100BaseLX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX or 1000Base-ZX for testing applications including Ethernet component testing, SONET/SDH hybrid multiplexers, switched Ethernet, VLANs, DWDM and FTTx systems....

Ethernet Test Module EtherSAM: The New Standard in Ethernet Testing ITU-T Y.1564 is the new standard for turning up and troubleshooting Carrier Ethernet services. This methodology is completely adapted to today's Ethernet services especially mobile backhaul and commercial services. Up to now, RFC 2544 has been the most widely used methodology. However, it was designed for network device testing in the lab, not for services testing in the field. ITU-T Y.1564 is the first testing standard developed for the field. It has a number of advantages over the RFC 2544 including validation of critical SLA...

Ethernet Test Module Ethernet Performance Validation Example of EtherBERT Configuration. Throughput is the maximum rate at which none of the offered frames are dropped by the device under test (DUT) or network under test (NUT). For example, the throughput test can be used to measure the rate-limiting capability of a switch. The throughput is essentially equivalent to the bandwidth. Metro Network 100 Mbit/s Example of throughput test application. The IQS-8510B Packet Blazer can perform the RFC 2544 test suite for 10/100/1000Base-T and optical 100 Mbit/s GigE interfaces at all frame sizes and at...

IQS-8510B Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module Ethernet Performance Validation (Cont’d) TCP Throughput The Internet protocol (IP) and transmission control protocol (TCP) together form the essence of TCP/IP networking. While IP deals with the delivery of packets, TCP provides the integrity and assurance that the data packets transmitted by one host are reliably received at the destination. Applications such as hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), e-mail or file transfer protocol (FTP) depend on TCP as their delivery assurance mechanism within networks. Customers deploying such applications expect...

Ethernet Test Module IPTV Testing and Analysis The IPTV software option, available on the IQS-8510B, leverages the current frame-analysis engine, delivering high performing measurement capabilities and providing users with over 35 different IPTV metrics and statistics. The key features and capabilities provided with this software option include RFC 4445 media delivery index (MDI)*, TR 101 290 priority 1 metrics, in addition to program clock reference jitter, IGMP support, stream rate and bandwidth utilization on 100 simultaneous MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or VC-1 streams. Usability features include user-configurable...

IQS-8510B Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module Fibre Channel Network Integrity Testing EXFO’s IQS-8510B Packet Blazer module also supports comprehensive Fibre Channel testing. This module supports the following Fibre Channel interfaces: RATE 1.0625 Gbit/s 2.125 Gbit/s Since most storage area networks cover large distances and Fibre Channel has stringent performance attributes that must be respected, testing at each phase of network deployment is imperative to ensure appropriate service levels. EXFO’s IQS-8510B Fibre Channel option provides full wire-speed traffic generation at FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2...

Ethernet Test Module Efficient Testing Leads to Reliable Performance Remote Management The Visual Guardian Lite™ remote management software, supported on all the Transport Blazer and Packet Blazer modules, provides the user with a remote connection to the instrument’s graphical user interface (GUI). This identical view of the GUI is supported on any Windowsbased workstation and allows for simplified remote testing and data analysis, as well as remote monitoring. Up to five simultaneous Visual Guardian Lite sessions can be supported per test module via a standard Ethernet connection to the platform....
