Description

The Choice for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Performance Assurance

EXFO’s RTU-310G IP Services Test Head is a carrier-grade test device that offers performance assurance capabilities for 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based services. Its suite of test applications provides all the measurements required for service turn-up, troubleshooting, as well as validating service-level agreements (SLAs) between service providers and their customers. This 1U rack-mounted, central office (CO)-based device—combined with its portable counterparts, EXFO’s award winning FTB-8510B Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module and the FTB-8510G Packet Blazer 10 Gigabit Ethernet Test Module or the FTB-860 NetBlazer—simplify and accelerate the deployment of Ethernet services. In fact, the RTU-310G is the functional equivalent of the FTB-8510G and supports all the test features found in the portable version.

Flexible End-to-End Testing from a Centralized Point

With the RTU-310G IP Services Test Head, the user can perform end-to-end testing through control of the remote unit via the LAN connection under test. This unique approach gives service providers access to test results for each direction of test, which is essential to fully qualify Ethernet services. It is also possible to perform end-to-end testing by using the Smart Loopback mode where the remote unit will return traffic to the local unit by swapping packet overhead up to layer 4 of the OSI stack. For example, up to ten 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) test patterns can be looped back simultaneously, allowing service providers to run multiple tests from different locations, all at the same time. This increases the test set’s flexibility and makes testing more efficient.
