One-way delay measuring modules

28 September 2011 Test & Measurement

EXFO announced the addition of one-way delay measurement to its portable Ethernet backhaul test offering.

Integrated within EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) test methodology, this enriched testing capability allows for turning up and troubleshooting Ethernet backhaul and delay-sensitive applications faster and more accurately than ever. In fact, it enables network operators and service providers to perform simultaneous one-way measurements of all key performance indicators included in service-level agreements.

In today’s complex networks, millisecond delay fluctuations can cause service to be affected or even interrupted. One-way latency measurement is critical in such a context, since it enables the accurate validation of delay-sensitive applications such as backhaul synchronisation, transactional services or voice-over-IP (VoIP). It also acts as a quality of service (QoS) assurance alternative to traditional round-trip delay measurements, which often fail to identify performance issues in asymmetrical networks.

Housed in either the FTB-200 or FTB-500 field testing platforms, EXFO’s enhanced Power Blazer modules enable network operators and service providers to validate IP/Ethernet performance and service quality with the added flexibility of a portable solution.
