Description
Spirent – XEN-4001A XENPAK 10GbE Features & Specifications:
The Spirent TestCenter 10GbE test modules provide functional, performance, system and conformance testing capabilities from Layer 2 through Layer 7 on a single GUI and test automation platform. These test modules generate realistic traffic from Layer 2 through Layer 7 of the OSI network layers and analyze data frame, packet, stream and protocol metrics for each layer. The test modules can also simultaneously manage data plane tests with control plane traffic required for metropolitan, enterprise and broadband access routing. They provide the most realistic and accurate network device performance measurements in the industry. Features such as real-time capture and decode along with the real-time event logging system allow the user to find the source of more complex multi-protocol problems.
Spirent – XEN-4001A XENPAK 10GbE KEY FEATURES
- Support for Deficit Idle Count (DIC), Link Fault Signaling (LFS), Loop Line Timing, Ethernet preamble editing, Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) and diagnostic loopback.
- High port density modules with per-port group reservation, providing multi-user capability
- Dual media test modules provide 10/100/1000 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet fiber
- Wire-rate and beyond wire-rate traffic generation and analysis at Layers 2 and 3
- Compatible with all Spirent TestCenter software applications for comprehensive functional testing and performance analysis all in one system
- Supports all core technologies required to test Enterprise L2/L3 switches, including QoS, IPv4/v6, multicast, routing, spanning tree, VLAN and DHCP. Simultaneously runs multiple protocols per port to emulate large routed networks.
- Series 2000 GigE modules support testing of application level protocols such as HTTP, SSL, FTP, Telnet, DNS, IPv6, IPSec, Capture/ Replay for L4-7, SIP, SMTP and POP3
- Custom packet and frame editing is facilitated by a graphically driven field editor that allows the user to edit templates for a wide variety of preconfigured control and data plane packets
- Real time per stream statistics such as jitter, PRBS and minimum, maximum and average latency per stream
- Real time event log allows user to view actual protocol messaging on a per-port basis
- Hardware is field-programmable. The module can be upgraded on-site in its chassis as new features and technologies become available.
Spirent – XEN-4001A XENPAK 10GbE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
HyperFilters
- The analyzer supports a combination of 5 HyperFilters, four 16-bit and one 32-bit that may be placed anywhere in the packet for the user to select packet fields for measurement and statistical tracking analysis and will operate on the incoming traffic stream
- HyperFilters technology separates traffic into as many as 65,535 sub-streams for detailed analysis
- Automatically identifies Layer 2 (including MPLS and VLANs), Layer 3 and Layer 4 encapsulations per templates Analyzer—Port Measurements
- Port and rate counters are 64 bits deep and can track 65,535 uniquely trackable stream and sub-stream values with real time statistics and graphs
- Additional Spirent TestCenter Base and Test Packages add technology or protocol specific port counters. Please refer to the specific software package data sheet for additional counter information.
- Traffic Generator and Total Port Count Counters: Transmit and Receive counters report all packet statistics for counts, bytes, signature field, CRC and FCS errors, and IPv4/IPv6 checksum errors for Layer 3 and Layer 4. Protocol counters such as UDP, TCP, MPLS, VLANs, ICMP are provided. Packet size statistics are counted for Undersized, Oversized and Jumbo frames.
- Transmit and Receive CPU Port Counts are provided for: Frames, Octets, IPv4/IPv6 Frames, ARP Requests and Replies, and ICMP Echo Requests and Replies
- QoS Counters: The user can choose to count for a single IP Destination or for all traffic received on the port. For each value of the ToS/Diffserv byte the analyzer tracks Value of the byte, IPv4 Frames, IPv6 Frames and associated rates.
Spirent – XEN-4001A XENPAK 10GbE APPLICATIONS
- Evaluate key feature functional and performance parameters of 10GbE switches, link aggregators and routers under typical or extreme traffic load with deliberate error conditions
- Compare and validate 10GbE network equipment for compliance to product and protocol specifications prior to deployment
- Ensure the performance of advanced network device features, such as total host client capacities and throughput, QoS class prioritization, SLA bandwidth verification, VLAN tagging and dozens of routing protocols, scalability protocols and performance metrics
- Verify routing controls and converged network capabilities
- Test silicon communications chips and optical transceivers
- Measure ultra-low latency in any topology and with a high degree of realistic network traffic
Spirent – XEN-4001A XENPAK 10GbE BENEFITS
Shorter Time-To-Test: The Inspire Architecture is a real- time, multi-threaded system. Processes run concurrently and test events occur simultaneously. Communications are asynchronous and non-blocking throughout the entire
Inspire Architecture system. Processes that manage tests do not wait for one another to complete; they execute as soon as possible. Improving the efficiency of the test process translates into gaining more test plan coverage in a shorter period. This reduces total test cycle time, which increases
productivity for test engineers.
Ease In Troubleshooting Of Complex Devices: While testing, the rule of thumb is 80 percent of the tester’s time is spent debugging 20 percent of the problems. Spirent TestCenter’s unique HyperFilters™ technology saves your test engineers time on the toughest 20 percent of the problems. HyperFilters
technology enables users to receive, track, inspect and accumulate statistics for up to five fields in each received.
