As Ethernet’s role in metro and wide area networks, storage networks, mobile backhaul and smart grids continues to expand rapidly, Spirent is helping to validate performance of Carrier Ethernet offerings for business and consumers. To that end, Spirent is supporting the European Advanced Networking Test Center AG (EANTC) in an interoperability event that tests devices from two dozen leading vendors of Ethernet equipment. The results are being showcased at Carrier Ethernet World Congress 2010, in Warsaw, Poland, September 20-23.
“This year’s Carrier Ethernet interoperability test shows the industry is progressing well with solution evolving to the next level,” said Carsten Rossenhövel, managing director, EANTC AG. “Spirent continues to play an important role in these ongoing endeavors. Without the use of test equipment, most of what we accomplished in our two-week test of more than 100 devices would not have been possible.”

Spirent solutions were used for testing synchronization for LTE mobile backhaul, Managed Ethernet services and Ethernet resiliency mechanisms. The interoperability event used Spirent TestCenter™ and Spirent GEM for traffic generation/user emulation and protocol emulation as well as impairment and analysis of testing scenarios.

Spirent TestCenter is the leading choice for network equipment manufacturers, service providers and enterprises who are leading the next wave of integrated technologies focused on delivering any application over any network. Spirent GEM is a network impairment emulator that accurately creates delays and impairments present in live networks, allowing users to validate and evaluate new products and technologies under realistic conditions.

“Spirent continues to offer the most comprehensive Ethernet testing solutions on the market allowing the industry to understand and address the complex issues associated with interoperability,” said Michael Lynge, marketing communications manager at Spirent. “With the most complete solution for conformance, functional and performance testing of Ethernet devices that highlights the impact of any impairments, Spirent plays a major role in advancing the deployment of carrier grade Ethernet services.”
