Teledyne LeCroy's White Paper, “Understanding Ethernet – Part II: Data Link Layer 2,” guides you through Ethernet's evolution and the test methodologies that ensure robust, high-performance Ethernet networks.
If you're new to Ethernet or want a quick refresher to bring you up-to-date, this is the tech series for you!
Here in Part 1, we focus on the physical layer of Ethernet and the different testing methodologies and equipment used to ensure the integrity and performance of Ethernet at the physical layer.
Learn how AN/LT are key elements of Ethernet transmission over electrical connections and can reduce overall installation time and optimize the performance.
In this, the first of two White Papers exploring Terabit Ethernet, we look at the commercial factors driving the development of Terabit Ethernet and 800G.
The new White Paper dives into the technical details. Called "Terabit Ethernet - How", it covers how Ethernet speeds beyond 400Gbps require changes to the Ethernet physical layer as well as the implications for first movers in this pre-IEEE standardization phase.
Going beyond generating DDoS traffic, Xena’s solutions can help companies test their security products and operators test networks and detect flaws, thereby ensuring business continuity and preserve business integrity.
This White Paper explains how Xena is working with the Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) community on the vSwitch Performance (VSPerf) project towards a generic architecture-agnostic vSwitch performance benchmarking and test framework.
Learn more about how a Lab-as-a-Service solution will give users of shared labs an efficient and seamless way to utilize shared lab resources improving both CapEx and OpEx.
Data centers are hungry for bandwidth but strapped for cash. Adding more 10GE equipment is a short-term solution but upgrading to 40/100GE is expensive.
Any organization that produces Ethernet networking components will perform a variety of performance, functionality, and quality of service tests.
While many of these tests take place at the R&D stage, companies that ...
SD-WANs make it easier to centrally manage WANs spread across a wide area. Learn how Xena's traffic generation and analysis solutions are used to test and verify SD-WANs.
This White Paper clarifies terms used in time measurement e.g. latency, jitter, inter-frame gap, latency resolution, speed mismatch, latency over time, and distribution and presents how Xena interprets and implements time measurements.
Learn about IP multicast and how Xena’s test solutions are used to verify IP multicast and IGMP performance in accordance with RFC 3918, and perform multicast stress testing and IGMP snooping verification.
Big data centers use Smart Network Interface Cards (SmartNICs) to boost network performance by offloading the networking, storage, and security functions from server CPUs to the SmartNIC’s Data Processing Unit (DPU).
This White Paper explains how signal degradation can be prevented using equalizers and forward error correction algorithms, together with different cable types like DACs, ACCs and AECs .
This White Paper examines the background for BBF.247 testing and how LAN - the Laboratoire des Applications Numériques - uses Xena’s solutions for their formal certification process.
G.fast is a next-gen DSL technology designed to seriously boost signal speeds to customer premises. Learn how Xena test solutions can be used to verify G.fast performance and conformance with Broadband Forum ID-337.
This White Paper explains why Ethernet impairment testing is crucial in deploying 5G fronthaul networks, and highlights the protocols that need particular attention when optimizing your equipment or application performance in 5G fronthaul networks.
Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON) support digital communication to end customers at rates up to 2.4 Gbps downstream and 1.2 Gbps (optionally 2.4 Gbps) upstream. A GPON requires active transmission equipment at its borders, and this equipment will of course need to be tested.
Xena's Xena platform made it easy for BT to verify the performance of their new 100G PON solution. PON is an access network technology that ensures high-speed network access to business and private users.
