FTB-8510B Packet Blazer

ASSESSING ETHERNET SERVICE PERFORMANCE

EXFO’s FTB-8510B Packet Blazer™ brings performance assurance to Ethernet-based services. Its wide range of test functionalities
provides all the necessary measurement tools for verifying service-level agreements (SLA) between service providers and their
customers. This module is the ideal tool for turning-up and troubleshooting Ethernet-based mobile backhaul, commercial and
wholesale services. Combined with its rack-mounted remote test unit counterpart, the RTU-310 and the FTB-800 NetBlazer
Series, the FTB-8510B simplifies and speeds up the deployment of Ethernet services.

ETHERSAM: THE NEW STANDARD IN ETHERNET TESTING

ITU-T Y.1564 is the new standard for turning up and troubleshooting Carrier Ethernet services. This methodology is completely
adapted to today’s Ethernet services especially mobile backhaul and commercial services. It is also significantly faster, therefore
saving time and resources while optimizing QoS.

The FTB-8510B can perform the EtherSAM (Y.1564) test suite for 10/100/1000M interfaces, at all frame sizes and at full line rate.

EXFO’s EtherSAM approach proves even more powerful as it executes the complete ITU-T Y.1564 test suite bidirectionally. Key
SLA parameters are measured independently in each test direction, thus providing 100% first-time-right service activation—the
highest level of confidence in service testing.

RFC 2544 TEST SUITE

The FTB-8510B Packet Blazer can perform the RFC 2544 test
suite for 10/100/1000M interfaces at all frame sizes and at full line
rate, allowing the provider to certify that the circuit is efficient and
error-free at 100% utilization. More importantly, when in dual test
set mode, the Packet Blazer allows bidirectional testing, providing
independent RFC 2544 test results for each direction (local
to remote and remote to local) simultaneously. This is especially
important when testing Ethernet services as traffic from each direction
often takes different paths in the network. Performance results can
therefore vary depending on the direction.

The Packet Blazer supports automated RFC 2544 testing, including
throughput, latency, burst (back-to-back) and frame loss. Since
everything is automated, it is easy for field technicians to obtain accurate,
efficient measurements and results with a clear pass/fail indication.
The Packet Blazer also generates SLA reports that can be given to
customers and used for future reference.

Testing can be performed end-to-end or end-to-core, depending on
the SLA. Remote testing i s also possi ble.

EFFICIENT TESTING LEADS TO RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

FTB-8510B Packet Blazer

EXacTCP

The transmission control protocol (TCP) provides the integrity and assurance that the data packets transmitted by one host are
reliably received at the destination. Applications such as hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), e-mail or file transfer protocol (FTP)
rely on TCP as their delivery assurance mechanism.

Customers deploying such applications expect not only physical and link level SLAs from their service providers, but assurance
that their TCP traffic requirements will be supported across the network. ExacTCP, the TCP throughput feature for the FTB-8510B,
which is based on RFC 6349, provides accurate measurements of TCP metrics, such as throughput, roundtrip time (RTT) and
optimal window size.

MPLS, MPLS-TP and PBB-TE: Carrier Ethernet Transport Solution Testing

As technologically-sophisticated business and residential consumers continue to drive demand for premium, bandwidth-hungry
and quality-dependent services, such as voice and video, service providers worldwide are evolving their transport infrastructures
to support them. No longer is an all-IP core sufficient.

Ethernet tunneling technologies such as Provider Backbone Bridge-Traffic Engineering or PBB-TE (also referred to as PBT) and
transport MPLS address these requirements. These technologies enable connection-oriented Ethernet, providing carriers with
a means of offering scalable, reliable and resilient Ethernet services. The PBB-TE and MPLS options on the FTB-8510B Packet
Blazer offer service providers a comprehensive field tool to efficiently qualify Ethernet services from end-to-end, validating metro
and core tunneling technologies.

Ethernet Advanced Troubleshooting

The FTB-8510B provides a number of advanced features essential for in-depth troubleshooting in the event of network failures
or impairments. The advanced filtering option allows the user to configure up to ten filters each with up to four operands, which
will be applied to the received Ethernet traffic. Detailed statistics are available for each configured filter providing the user with the
critical information required to pinpoint specific problems. Furthermore, the FTB-8510B supports a traffic scan feature that allows
quick identification and monitoring of VLAN and MPLS flows on the network. This can help clearly identify top bandwidth users.

The FTB-8510B also supports full-line-rate data capturing and decoding. This key troubleshooting tool enables field technicians to
easily identify complex network issues. The comprehensive capture feature includes the capacity to configure filters and triggers
to quickly zero-in on network events.

FTB-8510B Packet Blazer

IPTV Testing and Analysis

The IPTV software option, available on the FTB-8510B, leverages the current frame-analysis engine, to deliver high-performance
measurements and provide users with over 45 different IPTV metrics and statistics in a powerful portable test platform. The key
features and capabilities provided with this software option include RFC 4445 media delivery index (MDI)*, TR 101 290 priority
1 metrics, in addition to program clock reference jitter, IGMP support, stream rate and bandwidth utilization on 100 simultaneous
MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or VC-1 streams. Usability features include user-configurable alarm thresholds for MDI and other selected
metrics, enabling customizable test sequences as well as an auto-stream detection capability that automatically discovers valid
IPTV streams within the Ethernet layer. Moreover, stream IP addresses can be linked to a user-definable stream name through an
alias table typically containing the name of the broadcast channel.

The combination of the portable FTB-500 platform and the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer with the IPTV software option offers service
providers the most effective tool to quickly and efficiently test and monitor IPTV streams over their network. For more information
on the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer IPTV option, please refer to the IPTV Test Option specification sheet.

EtherBERT™

Ethernet is increasingly carried across a variety of layer 1 media over longer
distances. This creates a growing need for the certification of Ethernet transport
on a bit-per-bit basis, which can be done using bit-error-rate testing (BERT).

BERT uses a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) encapsulated into an
Ethernet frame, making it possible to go from a frame-based error measurement
to a bit-error-rate measurement. This provides the bit-per-bit error count accuracy
required for acceptance testing of physical-medium transport systems. BERT­over-Ethernet should usually be used when Ethernet is carried transparently over
layer 1 media, in cases such as Ethernet over DWDM, CWDM or dark fiber.

Statistics for each stream.

Multistream bandwidth profiles.

Ethernet QoS Measurements

Data services are making a significant shift toward supporting a variety
of applications on the same network. Multiservice offerings such as triple­play services have fuelled the need for QoS testing to ensure the condition
and reliability of each service and fully qualify SLA parameters. The FTB­8510B Packet Blazer allows service providers to simultaneously simulate
and qualify different applications through its multistream application.
The user has the capability to configure up to ten streams with different
Ethernet and IP QoS parameters such as VLAN ID (802.1Q), VLAN Priority
(802.1p), VLAN stacking (802.1ad Q-in-Q), ToS and DSCP. Specific stream
profiles to transmit VoIP, video and data can be selected for each stream.
Throughput, latency, frame loss and packet jitter (RFC 3393) measurements
are also available simultaneously for each stream, allowing fast and in-depth
qualification of all SLA criteria.

* The MDI feature of the IPTV software option is not available in the USA.

FIBRE CHANNEL NETWORK INTEGRITY TESTING

EXFO’s FTB-8510B Packet Blazer module also supports comprehensive Fibre Channel testing.

Interfaces

This module supports the following Fibre Channel interfaces:

Applications

Since most storage area networks cover large distances and Fibre Channel has stringent performance attributes that must be
respected, testing at each phase of network deployment is imperative to ensure appropriate service levels. EXFO’s FTB-8510B
Fibre Channel option provides full wire-speed traffic generation at FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layers, allowing BER testing for link
integrity measurements. Latency, buffer-to-buffer credit measurements for optimization, and login capabilities are also supported.

Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Estimation

Buffer-to-buffer credits are part of the flow control engine for Fibre Channel connections. This is a crucial configuration parameter
for optimal network performance. Usually, network administrators calculate the value by taking the traveled distance and the data
rate into consideration. However, since latency issues are not considered, poor accuracy is to be expected. The FTB-8510B
module is capable of estimating buffer-to-buffer credit values with respect to latency by calculating the distance according to the
round-trip latency time.

Latency

Transmission of frames in a network is not instantaneous and is subject to multiple delays caused by the propagation delay in the fiber and
by processing time inside each piece of network equipment. Latency is the total accumulation of delays between two endpoints. Some
applications such as VoIP, video and storage area networks are very sensitive to excess latency. It is therefore critical for service providers
to properly characterize network latency when offering Fibre Channel services. From the latency measurement that they perform,
the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer estimates buffer-to-buffer credit value requirements.
