Description:
The FTB-8510 Packet Blazer™ brings performance assurance to Ethernet-based frame services. It offers all the test and measurement functionalities required to meet service-level agreements (SLAs) between service providers and their customers. This FTB-400-housed module tests transparent connectivity in its native format: 10/100/1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX and 1000Base-ZX for LAN-to-LAN services delivered via ATM, frame relay, Next-Generation SONET/SDH, SONET/SDH hybrid multiplexers, switched Ethernet, VLANs, dark fiber, WDM, FTTx systems or other means.
Combined with its rack-mounted manufacturing/R&D-environment counterpart, the IQS-8510 Packet Blazer, the FTB-8510 simplifies and speeds up the deployment of Ethernet services. |
Features:
 Measures throughput, back-to-back, latency and frame loss as per RFC 2544
Performs packet jitter measurement (frame delay variation as per RFC 3393) for assessing the capacity of Ethernet transport networks to properly transmit delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice over IP (VoIP)
Simultaneous traffic generation and reception at 100 % wire speed for 10/100/1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX or 1000Base-ZX full-duplex networks at all packet sizes
Transmits and analyzes up to 10 streams, perfect for installing, commissioning and maintaining layer-2 Ethernet networks
Dual Test Set feature enables end-to-end performance testing (as specified by leading standards bodies) by controlling a remote Packet Blazer via the LAN connection under test
Transparent LAN service (TLS) testing with wire-speed full-duplex 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s traffic-generation capabilities
Dual test ports for lab benchmarking of Ethernet devices
Easy-to-use smart user interface (SUI) for configurable screens, customization of test routines, as well as real-time and historical performance reporting
EtherBERT™ (patent-pending) for bit-error-rate testing of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s and 1000 Mb/s Ethernet circuits |
