Traffic generation and monitoring Allows full-line-rate bidirectional end-to-end testing for complete network performance evaluation.
Multistream background traffic Used in conjunction with traffic generation, background traffic fully proves that the providers’ network can
truly offer end-to-end quality of service (QoS).
Cable testing Allows for cable troubleshooting before committing to long-term testing phases, saving you time and money.
Bit-error-rate testing (BERT) Performs BERT up to layer 4; offers a wide range of standard and customizable patterns.
Bidirectional RFC 2544 Offers Dual Test Set configuration to perform end-to-end, bidirectional RFC 2544 performance testing
such as throughput, back to back and frame loss; latency results are returned via a round trip method.
VLAN with Q-in-Q Encapsulates up to two VLAN layers for all tests including the modification of VLAN ID, pr
iority, type
and drop eligibility.
Intelligent autodiscovery Finds multiple remote AXS-200/850 units and loops them up or down for loopback testing; offers the
ability to discover and connect to any of EXFO’s datacom testing solutions.
Smart Loopback Loopbacks incoming test traffic up to layer 4.
Optical power measurement Provides optical power readings during all testing phases.
Interoperability with Packet Interoperates with EXFO’s Packet Blazer Ethernet and Power Blazer test module series—the FTB-8510,
Blazer and Power Blazer units FTB-8510B, FTB-8510G, FTB-8120NGE, FTB-8130NGE, FTB-8525, FTB-8535, RTU-310 and RTU-310G.
Service disruption time (SDT) Measures the downtime of a network triggered by a non-traffic period that could be caused by
measurement impairments or protection switching.
IPv6 Includes BERT, RFC 2544, traffic generation and mon
itoring, background streams, Smart Loopback,
remote loopback, ping and traceroute.
Event logger Allows users to track all current or historical events during test phases; events are color coded and
embedded with a pass/fail analysis during and after testing.
