Multirate field testing solution up to 100G

4 April 2012 Test & Measurement

EXFO is aiming for simplicity in the configuration and testing of 100G/40G high-speed networks while addressing the explosive growth of lower rate packet-based data.

The combined solution of the FTB-85100G Packet Blazer 100G/40G Ethernet and OTN Test Module and the FTB-8130NGE Power Blazer Next-Generation Multiservice Test Module housed in EXFO’s portable FTB-500 platform enables network operators to rapidly scale their networks while reducing time-to-service. With EXFO’s new solution they have the tools they need for simultaneous testing of different services to ensure turn-up efficiency.

For full Ethernet testing coverage, EXFO provide its customers with the tools needed to meet the demands for stable and resilient Ethernet services and network performance up to 100G. More specifically, these tools include RFC 2544, Smart Loopback capability adjustable to all unique layer 2 through layer 4 loopback configurations, quality-of-service (QoS) metrics and traffic shaping with VLAN support. EXFO’s solutions ensure that all newly deployed 100G/40G networks are proven capable of handling demanding services that will be placed on them in the future.

In addition, EXFO is bringing single- and multi-stage OTU4/OTU3 multiplexing to its modules to address the critical requirements of systems manufacturers and network operators. This will assist them as they leverage optical transport networks (OTN) as a common container for multiplexing a mix of services down to ODU0 (1,25G) granularity into 100G/40G wavelengths for efficient bandwidth management. This new capability enables enhanced qualification of high-speed OTN.

The newly added capabilities are available through a software option for existing FTB/IQS-85100G Packet Blazer modules, requiring no additional hardware.
