Full Description

Complete and agile testing of 10G services

From development in the lab to troubleshooting in the field, EXFO’s FTBx-8870/8880 Power Blazer features a full suite of test capabilities with a range of technologies up to 10G.

Key DSn/PDH and SONET/SDH

  • Preconfigure user-defined bit-error-rate (BER) thresholds prior to running tests. Results are easy to interpret thanks to a simple pass/fail verdict at the conclusion of tests.   

Key Ethernet features

  • Intelligent network discovery mode enables you to single-handedly scan the network and connect to any available EXFO datacom remote tester, with no need for an additional technician at the far-end to relay information.
  • Smart Loopback functionality offers five distinct loopback modes adjusting to all unique loopback situations.
  • Dual-port testing makes it possible for a single technician to launch EtherSAM or RFC 2544 tests using a single module and to obtain bidirectional results.
  • Support for virtual-local-area-network (VLAN) tags, Q-in-Q VLAN tags and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) to enhance security, scalability, reliability and performance.

EtherSAM: the new standard in Ethernet testing

EXFO’s EtherSAM test suite—based on the ITU-T Y.1564 Ethernet service activation methodology—provides comprehensive field testing for mobile backhaul and commercial services, including critical service-level agreement (SLA) criteria such as packet jitter and quality-of-service (QoS) measurements.

EtherSam bidirectional results

Key SLA parameters are measured independently in each test direction, providing 100% first-time-right service activation—the highest level of confidence in service testing.

EtherSAM service configuration test

Sequential testing of each service to validate that it is properly provisioned and that all specific key performance indicators (KPIs) or SLA parameters have been met.

EtherSAM service performance test

Once the configuration of each individual service has been validated, the service performance test simultaneously validates the quality of all the services over time.

EtherSAM bidirectional results

  • Executes the complete ITU-T Y.1564 test with bidirectional measurements.
  • Key SLA parameters are measured independently in each test direction for 100% first-time-right service activation.

iSAM: simplified Y.1564 (EtherSAM) and RFC 6349 testing

  • With iSAM, the emphasis is on minimalism and simplicity, making both the Y.1564 (EtherSAM) and RFC 6349 testing methodologies as straightforward as possible for all users.
  • Only a small number of steps are required to set up, run and receive valid test results.
  • One-page setup facilitates the setup and running of iSAM tests for field technicians of all skill levels.

Cable test with power over Ethernet (PoE)

  • Technicians can troubleshoot any cabling or installation issue by checking the cable’s actual pin-out, wire map, cable length, distance-to-fault measurement and propagation delay.
  • Adding PoE means technicians can check for the following: presence of power, the power-supply equipment type, power class rating, voltage, current and power in watts.

FTTA Testing

The FTBx-8870/8800 CPRI protocol feature verifies that a remote radio head (RRH) is fully operational and that the correct small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers are installed and properly connected.

  • With the layer-2 CPRI protocol, technicians can easily connect to the RRH without having to climb the cell tower.
  • Once connected to the RRH, the Power Blazer is able to supply the technician with a complete analysis of vital CPRI statistics.

Traffic generation and monitoring

  • Technicians can configure up to 32 streams of traffic in order to test just about any frame format including: Ethernet II, 802.3, SNAP, IPv4, IPv6, three levels of VLANs, MPLS, UDP and TCP.
  • A new virtual frame display that allows field technicians to easily configure multiple streams and their parameters makes it possible to test layer-2 protocols, including: Cisco discover protocol (CDP), VLAN trunking protocol (VTP) and link-layer discovery protocols (LLDP) 

RFC 6349 service activation methodology

  • RFC 6349 validates end-to end TCP services and helps correctly locate and diagnose issues as they arise.
  • The RFC 6349 test helps resolve discrepancies between service-provider networks and customer premise equipment through:
    • Maximum-transmission-unit (MTU) size discovery
    • Baseline round-trip delay determination
    • Single or multiple TCP connections to enable full pipe testing

Carrier Ethernet operations, administration and maintenance (OAM)

  • The FTBx-8870/8880 adds extra packet-capturing capabilities, including comprehensive filtering, triggering and truncation methods to target specific traffic and quickly pinpoint issues in the lab and in the field.
  • Advanced traffic filtering using up to four fields and operands makes it possible to troubleshoot a particular traffic flow.

Performance assessment of Fibre Channel services

Since most storage area networks (SANs) cover large distances, and because Fibre Channel has stringent performance requirements, it is imperative to test each phase of network deployments to ensure appropriate service levels. In addition to full wire-speed traffic generation at the FC2 layer, the FTX-8870/8880 modules also support:

  • Proper characterization of latency for FC services.
  • Buffer-to-buffer credit estimation, a configuration parameter that estimates buffer credit values with respect to latency by calculating the distance according to round-trip latency times.
  • Switch-fabric login capability to support connections to a remote location through a fabric or semitransparent network.

Description

全面、敏捷的10G服务测试

从实验室内的开发到现场的故障诊断,EXFO的FTBx-8870/8880 Power Blazer系列模块配备不同的测试应用,可满足速率最高可达10G的多种技术要求。

DSn/PDH和SONET/SDH

  • 用户可以在进行测试前预先配置误码率(BER)阈值。在测试结束时轻松地得出通过/未通过判断,测试结果非常易读。

主要以太网功能

  • 智能网络发现模式使您能够独立扫描网络,并同任何可用的EXFO远程数据通信测试仪连接,不需要在远端安排技术人员来传递信息。
  • 智能环回功能可提供五种截然不同的环回模式,以适应所有的环回情景。
  • 在双端口测试中,一位技术人员可以使用一个模块,进行EtherSAM或RFC 2544测试,并获得双向测试结果。
  • 支持虚拟局域网(VLAN)标签、Q-in-Q VLAN标签和多协议标签交换(MPLS),以提高安全性、可扩展性、可靠性和性能。

EtherSAM: 以太网服务测试新标准

EXFO的EtherSAM测试套件基于ITU-T Y.1564以太网服务激活方法,可提供全面的移动回传和商业服务现场测试,包括:验证关键的服务等级协议(SLA)标准,如数据包抖动和服务质量(QoS)测量。

EtherSAM双向测试结果

在每个测试方向独立测量关键的SLA参数,因此可获得100%的首次服务激活正确率——这在服务测试中处于比较高的水平。

EtherSAM服务配置测试

按顺序测试各种服务,验证服务是否适当部署,以及所有特定关键性能指标(KPI)和SLA参数是否达标。

EtherSAM服务性能测试

一旦每种服务的配置通过验证,服务性能测试同时会验证所有服务的质量。

iSAM:简化的Y.1564(EtherSAM)和RFC 6349 测试

  • 重点在于简化,使Y.1564(EtherSAM)和RFC 6349测试方法尽可能便于所有用户使用。
  • 只需要几步,便可设置测试、进行测试并获得有效测试结果。
  • 单页设置使任何水平的现场技术人员都能够进行iSAM测试。

采用有源以太网(PoE)技术进行线缆测试

  • 技术人员可以通过检查线缆的引脚输出、线路图、线缆长度、至故障点距离以及传输时延,来诊断任何布线和安装问题。
  • 增加了PoE技术意味着技术人员可以进行以下检查:是否存在电源、电源设备类型、电源等级、电压、电流和功率(以瓦为单位)。

FTTA测试

FTBx-8870/8800的CPRI协议功能可验证RRH是否能够全面运行,以及SFP(small form-factor pluggable)收发器的安装和连接是否正确。

  • 借助2层CPRI协议功能,技术人员可以轻松连接RRH,而不需要爬上发射塔。
  • 在连接到RRH后,Power Blazer能为技术人员提供全面的CPRI统计分析。

流量生成和监测

  • 技术人员最多可配置32个流量来测试任何格式的帧,包括:Ethernet II、802.3 SNAP、IPv4、IPv6、3级VLAN、MPLS、UDP和TCP。
  • 新的虚拟帧显示使现场技术人员能够轻松配置多个信息流及其参数,从而可以测试2层协议,包括:Cisco发现协议(CDP)、VLAN中继协议(VTP)和链路层发现协议(LLDP)。

RFC 6349服务激活方法

  • RFC 6349验证端到端TCP服务,并帮助正确定位和诊断出现的问题。
  • RFC 6349测试可通过以下功能,帮助解决运营商网络和用户驻地设备之间的不一致问题:
    • 发现最大传输单元(MTU)大小
    • 确定基准往返时延
    • 单个或多个TCP连接,实现全通道测试

运营商以太网操作、管理和维护(OAM)

  • FTBx-8870/8880还具备数据包采集功能,包括针对特定的数据流提供全面的过滤、触发和截取方法,并迅速在实验室和现场精确定位问题。
  • 通过最多四个触发字段和运算符进行高级流量过滤,从而诊断特定流量的故障。

光纤通道服务性能评估

由于大多数存储区域网(SAN)覆盖距离很远且光纤通道具有严格的性能要求,因此必须在网络部署的每个阶段都进行测试以确保适当的服务等级。除了可在FC-2层生成全线速流量外,FTBx-8870/8880模块还支持:

  • 正确鉴定延迟,这一点非常重要,因为VoIP、视频之类的应用和存储区域网对过度延迟十分敏感。
  • 评估缓冲区到缓冲区信用,根据往返延迟时间计算延迟,从而提高精度。
  • 通过光纤网络或半透明网络连接到远程位置,从而经过网络更有效地传输流量。
