EtherSAM (Y.1564)
EtherSAM (Y.1564)
EtherSAM can simulate all types of services that will run on the network
and simultaneously qualify all key SLA parameters for each of these
services. Moreover, it validates the QoS mechanisms provisioned in the
network to prioritize the different service types, resulting in more accurate
validation and much faster deployment and troubleshooting.
The EtherSAM (Y.1564) test, in single port configuration, has to be
executed in conjunction with a remote module or in Internal Loopback
mode. The remote module can be either in loopback configuration for
unidirectional testing or in EtherSAM Dual Test Set mode for bidirectional
testing.
The Dual Test Set test allows bi-directional test between two compatible
modules providing independent results for each test direction. The results
from local-to-remote and remote-to-local are available on the local testing
unit.
The Dual Port topology allows simultaneous and bidirectional traffic
generation and analysis at 100% wire-speed at any packet size. Dual Port
topology is only available for rates up to 10G LAN.

Smart Loopback
Allows transmitting back the received Ethernet stream of data while
interchanging the source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses,
and/or UDP/TCP ports. However in Transparent (Pseudo-Physical) mode
the Smart Loopback operates as a physical loopback by transmitting all
received frames unaltered and without discrimination.
The Smart Loopback test can be created locally (refer to Ethernet Test
Applications on page 63) or remotely using an EXFO unit (refer to Discover
Remote Button on page 498) or a Third-Party device (see Third-Party
Remote Loopback on page 52).

Smart Loopback
Third-Party Remote Loopback
The Third-party Remote Loopback feature provides the capability to be
discovered and react to loop-up and loop-down commands from a third
party device. This feature is used for unidirectional testing, where the test
stream is transmitted from the third party device to a remote EXFO device.
The looped back test stream is received and analyzed by the third-party
device.
The third-party loopback supports three level of messages:
Layer 2: Only MAC addresses are swapped.
Layer 3: MAC and IP addresses are swapped.
Layer 4: MAC and IP addresses are swapped along with the UDP port.
To emulate a third-party remote device, the loopback mode is set in the
function of the layer of loop messages received. The loop messages are:
Layer 2: Ethernet
Layer 3: IP
Layer 4: UDP/TCP
On receipt of the third-party loop-up command as per requested layer, the
loopback mode is set and initiated on the module.

TCP Throughput
TCP Throughput
The objective of this test is to find the TCP throughput based on the
successfully transported bytes over the test time. Two units running a TCP
Throughput test are required. One unit will act as the source (Local) and
the other one as the destination (Remote).
The local unit starts sending TCP segments using the Initial Window Size
defined. The window size is adjusted following the TCP algorithm. The
window size is incremented until the Maximum Window Size or
congestion is reached. However, the window size will be reduced when
congestion occurs, then incremented again as described above when the
congestion is cleared. TCP Throughput and windows size statistics will be
gathered throughout the test.
Typical TCP Throughput test application:

Cable Test
The cable test application is used to diagnose un-shielded twisted pairs
(UTP) cables (up to Category 6e/Class E).
Cable test can be performed everywhere in the network where an
electrical 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface is available for testing. Only
the pairs used by the Ethernet signal will be tested. For 10 Base-T, and
100 Base-TX, pair 2 and 3 will be tested; for 1000 Base-T, all pairs will be
tested. However, if the Ethernet signal is unknown, all four pairs will be
tested.
Even if a link up is not required when testing with a far end equipment, it is
preferable to have the far end equipment powered up to maximize the
cable test results.
Supported Ethernet cable categories are: Category 3/Class C, Category 4,
Category 5, Category 5e/Class D, and Category 6e/Class E.
Note: Cable test result is reliable for cable length of 10 meters to 120 meters
(32.81 feet to 393.7 feet).

Test Configurator Overview
Physical Interface Port indicates the physical interface port. For
Dual Port topology, there is a physical interface for each port.
For CFP/CFP2 interface: To ensure proper optical module
detection/validation, make sure that the CFP/CFP2 screws are fully
secured.
The status for a physical CFP/CFP2 interface and the compatibility with
the selected signal/interface is indicated as follows. The icon and its
description are also displayed just below the test application name
when validating or if there is a CFP/CFP2 problem.
IconDescription
Validating CFP/CFP2
Missing CFP/CFP2
Invalid CFP/CFP2 or mismatch with the selected signal/interface.
Valid CFP/CFP2 matching the selected interface/rate.
For serial CFP interface, an interlink fault status indicates a problem at
the interconnect between the serial CFP and the module. No icon is
displayed when there is no interlink fault. The icon and its description
is also displayed just below the test application name when there is a
CFP problem.
IconDescription
Fault detected on either TX, RX, or TX/RX interlink. If an interlink fault is
reported we recommend to try the following to fix the issue: Fully remove the
CFP, wait 30 seconds then fully re-insert and secure the CFP with its screws.

Test Configurator Overview
Arrows are used to indicate the interconnection between blocks as
well as the direction of the clock and data flow.
A line with an arrow on both ends indicates a bidirectional
communication (TX/RX).
A line with a single arrow indicates a unidirectional communication,
either TX when going out of a block or RX when going into a block.
A line going out of a block returning back to the same block, indicates
a loopback communication.
Physical Clock Port indicates the direction, TX or RX, of the selected
clock. The arrow next to the physical clock image indicates if a clock is
generated (TX, arrow pointing to the left) or received (RX, arrow
pointing to the right) at/from the physical EXT CLK port.
Interface Block displays an overview of the interface settings and
status. Tap on the interface block to change the settings and to see
detailed status. For Dual Port topology, there is an interface block for
each port.
Protocol Block displays an overview of either the frame structure and
its parameters for Ethernet test applications or the embedded signal for
Transport test applications. This block is not present for all tests. Tap on
the protocol block to change the settings and to see detailed status. For
RFC 2544 in Dual Port topology, there is a protocol block for each port.
Test Block displays an overview of the test settings and status. Tap on
the test block to change the settings and to see detailed status.
Clock Block displays an overview of the clock settings and status. Tap
on the clock area to change the settings and to see detailed status. For
Dual Port topology, the clock block is not present but the clock is set to
Internal.

Internal Loopback
Modify Structure Button
CFP: Use this configuration when an optical transceiver is inserted
in the CFP slot of the FTB/IQS-88000 Series module.
CFP2: Use this configuration when an EXFO CFP to CFP2 adapter is
inserted in the CFP slot of the FTB/IQS-88000 Series module.
Internal Loopback: Use this configuration to perform a loopback
before the CFP connector without interfacing with the optical
transceiver. The loopback is performed on each physical lane for
parallel interface.
Note: The Internal Loopback connector selection allows the isolation of the
platform module CFP slot electrical interface from the CFP device. This can
be useful in isolating a problem to a faulty CFP device.
