Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT)
Verify the integrity of the network from end-to-end with a
bit error rate test. Leave with a concise report. You don’t
need any surprises tomorrow.
RFC 2544 Testing
Quickly and easily validate circuits and service level agreements with these industry-standard performance tests
including Throughput, Latency , Packet Loss and Back to
Back Buffer Frames. Unique Dual port design allows tests
to be run with one unit or run remotely with remote unit
set to automatic mode. Pass/Fail results.
Ping, Trace Route, FTP and other Diagnostic
Tools
Use the Ping test to determine if a particular host is
reachable across an IP network. If the host is not found
then the Trace Route utility can guide the user to diagnose at what point the end-to-end connection is being
disrupted. Measure cable length and use the Wire Map
tool to detect shorts, opens and polarity reversals. FTP
test measures the average, min and max download
speed.
Multi-Stream Traffic Generation
Generate constant, burst or ramped traffic for up to 500
stations in order to preload the network, detect problems
and preempt a disaster at turn up. Each stream can be
sent with its own MAC, IP, VLAN, priority, Q-in-Q, Frame
Size, TOS/DSCP, bandwidth, protocol, stream loading,
traffic shape etc.
QoS Testing
The ParaScope GigE is the ideal for performing QoS verification of metro Ethernet networks. It offers VLAN priorities and specific settings (TOS etc.) helping service providers ensure QoS expectations are met.
Comprehensive Statistics/Filtering
Let the ParaScope GigE provide you with all the traffic
statistics so that you know what is really running over
that network. You will know the bandwidth utilization,
frame sizes, protocols, number of CRC errors, and much
more. And, best of all you can easily filter out layer 2/3/4
traffic based on MAC/IP to quickly focus in on the root
cause of a problem. Wow! A network analyzer in your
hand.
