Ethernet is set to dominate a new era of telecommunications
through the transparent delivery of Ethernet based services
from the core through to enterprise.
New standards are emerging, making Ethernet more suitable
for carrier networks and to use Ethernet as an access technology
of choice, enableing the deployment of broadband services
to both business and residential users. Ethernet is also growing
into traditional SONET/SDH networks.
Agilent N2X provides the most comprehensive solution to validate
the scalability and reliability of Ethernet based services
as well as the emerging hybrid devices such as MSPs that required
to both Ethernet and SONET/SDH validation
Agilent N2X provides a portfolio of XM, XP and XR test cards
for comprehensive testing of Ethernet Services across SONET/SDH
networks and infrastructure. Key capabilities include:
- Patented Ethernet Service Disruption measurements to verify
services are "carrier class" and meets 50ms outage times
or SLAs
- Real-time multi-stream measurements including Ethernet
Packet BER, throughput, loss and latency to verify Ethernet
service QOS
- Verify the interactions between Ethernet restoration schemes
such as Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1d) and Rapid Spanning Tree
(IEEE 802.1w) and the various SONET/SDH restoration schemes.
- VLAN tag stacking (IEEE 802.ad) measurements to verify
class of Service and service prioritization
- Layer 2 VPN emulation software for testing latest technologies
like VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service).
