Key features

Fibre Channel traffic generation and BER testing
Full line rate for 10x, 4x, 2x and 1x interfaces
FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer configuration for Fibre Channel port definition, testing and performance analysis
Ethernet LAN/WAN traffic generation and BER testing
Round-trip latency measurement and buffer-to-buffer credit estimation
Full line rate from 10 Gbit/s to 10 Mbit/s
Ethernet service performance validation through BER testing, RFC 2544 testing and bidirectional RFC 2544 testing (dual test set configuration) to assess meshed topologies
True wire-speed, stateful TCP throughput test for undisputable SLA reinforcement for Ethernet services
Complete bidirectional EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) test suite; EtherSAM is the new standard for turning up and troubleshooting mobile backhaul and business Ethernet services
Simultaneous traffic generation and analysis at wire speed for 10x (IQS-8535 only), 4x, 2x and 1x Fibre Channel rates
BER testing of Fibre Channel circuits
Fully integrated FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer testing, enabling fabric and port login (F-port and N-port login)
Round-trip latency measurements for assessing the capability of a link
Buffer-to-buffer credit estimation for optimal configuration of Fibre Channel nodes
