Users can configure constant, burst or ramp traffic to simulate near real-world traffic before actually delivering a service.

Up to 32 individually configured streams enable generation and analysis of per stream key parameters such as VLAN ID and priority, TOS/DSCP marking, packet size (64- 10,000 bytes), source/destination IP and MAC address, and source/destination TCP/UDP ports. Multi-stream testing generates several streams of traffic at the Ethernet, IP, and TCP/UDP layers (Layers 2-4) to emulate various types of traffic with the appropriate CoS mappings so that users can assess the impact of traffic prioritization on the overall network architecture while confirming proper network element queuing, policing, and shaping. Out of sequence frames and available seconds are reported per Y.1564. Pass / Fail results for KPIs including CIR, frame delay (FD), frame delay variation (FDV or packet jitter) and frame loss rate (FLR) are provided independently for up to 16 services.

Y.1564 EtherSAM allows for fast and easy verification of SLAs for differentiated services including validation of different bandwidth profiles like committed information rate (CIR), extended information rate (EIR) and maximum bandwidth. Using a pair of test sets and Asymmetric RFC testing, users can validate Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) with different upstream and downstream CIRs, or they can test sequentially in both directions to ensure that key performance indicators (KPIs) are met across any connection type. In addition to supporting Ethernet throughput or committed information rate (CIR), frame delay (FD) or latency, frame loss (FLR), and back-to-back burst testing as called out in the RFC, ParaScope Ethernet also tests for packet jitter and frame delay variation (FDV) to ensure the circuit is ready to transport time- sensitive services such as IPTV and VoIP. RFC2544 is the defacto industry standard for Ethernet circuit installation. The ParaScope Ethernet delivers delivers all the Carrier Ethernet testing needed to qualify Ethernet-based transport networks.
