Carrier Ethernet Protocol Conformance Test Suites

The N2X Carrier Ethernet Protocol Conformance Test Suites have been designed to quickly and comprehensively verify the conformance of Ethernet switches, switch/routers, access nodes, broadband network gateways (BNGs), and other layer-2 devices to applicable protocol standards. Equipment manufacturers and service providers can expect to achieve a higher confidence with regard to their Carrier Ethernet protocol implementations in Ethernet switches being deployed in large Carrier Ethernet and Enterprise networks.
