FTB-8525/ 8535 Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module

The FTB-8525/8535 Packet Blazer test modules deliver FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer Fibre Channel testing for services delivered via transport protocols such as DWDM, SONET/SDH and dark fiber. They provide valuable timing information as well as buffer credit estimation for Fibre Channel network deployment.

• 1x, 2x, 4x and 10x full-line-rate Fibre Channel traffic generation and BER testing
• FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer configuration for Fibre Channel port definition, testing and performance analysis
• Round-trip latency measurement and buffer-to-buffer credit estimation
• True wire-speed, stateful TCP throughput test for undisputable SLA reinforcement for Ethernet services

FTB-8510B Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module 

EXFO’s FTB-8510B Packet Blazer™ brings performance assurance to Ethernet-based services. Its wide range of test functionalities provides all the necessary measurement tools for verifying service-level agreements (SLAs) between service providers and their customers.

• Throughput, back-to-back, latency and frame loss measurements as per RFC 2544 (bidirectional results)
• Multistream generation and analysis, allowing quality of service (QoS) verification through VLAN and ToS/DSCP prioritization testing
• True wire-speed, stateful TCP throughput test for undisputable SLA reinforcement for Ethernet services
• IPTV testing and analysis
• Up to 1 Gbit/s full-line-rate data capture and decode

FTB-8510G 10 Gigabit Ethernet Test Module 

The FTB 8510G Packet Blazer™ offers performance assurance for Ethernet-based frame services. Its suite of test applications provides all the measurements required for validating service-level agreements (SLAs) between service providers and their customers.

• LAN and WAN PHY capability in a single module
• Fully integrated functionality for assessing the performance of Ethernet transport networks
• Packet jitter measurement to qualify Ethernet transport networks for transmission of delay-sensitive traffic such as video and voice-over-IP (VoIP)
• Throughput, back-to-back, latency and frame loss measurements as per RFC 2544 (bidirectional)
• Multistream generation and analysis, allowing quality of service (QoS) verification through VLAN and ToS/DSCP prioritization testing
