By providing the ability to configure different Ethernet and IP QoS parameters such as VLAN ID (802.1Q), VLAN priority (802.1p), VLAN stacking (802.1ad Q-in-Q), ToS and DSCP on multiple streams, the Gigabit Testing Module allows service providers to simulate and qualify different types of applications running over their Ethernet network. This frame analysis feature enables multi-stream traffic generation and analysis allowing for the troubleshooting of Ethernet circuits as well as customer-traffic analysis and error identification.

Features:

• Module is compatible with OV-1000 mainframe
• Can test both copper (10/100/1000BASE-T) and optical (1000BASE-SX, -LX or -ZX) based networks
• Measures throughput, burst, latency and frame loss as per RFC 2544
• Performs packet jitter measurement (IP packet-delay variation as per RFC 3393) to qualify Ethernet transport networks for transmission of delay-sensitive traffic such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video
• Simultanious traffic generation and reception at 100 percent wire speed for 10/100/1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-ZX full-duplex networks at all packet sizes
• Transmits and analyzes multiple streams, perfect for installing, commissioning and maintaining Ethernet networks
• Expert-mode capability to set test thresholds for clear pass/fail test results
• Easy-to-use smart user interface (SUI) for configurable screens, customization of test suites, as well as performance reporting, real-time and historical
• EtherBERT for bit-error-rate testing of 10, 100 and 1000 Mb/s Ethernet
