ATM Testing

The Agilent Advisor supports the following interface types for ATM Testing:

T1*

T3*

OC-3*

EC-3*

OC-12

ATM25

155UTP

J2

* These interfaces also support WAN testing (see the WAN Testing section)

The following sub-sections deal with all layers of testing, starting at the upper

layers and working down to the physical layer.

Service Layer ATM Testing

Decoding

In addition to the nearly 300 encapsulated LAN decodes common to LAN, WAN

and ATM in the Agilent Advisor, ATM specific protocols decoded include:

• LAN over Frame Relay (RFC 2427/1490) over ATM (FRF.5)

• LAN over ATM (RFC 2684/1483)

• Classical IP and ARP over ATM (RFC 2225/1577)

• Ethernet and Token Ring LAN Emulation (ATM Forum LANE 1.0 & 2.0)

• MPEG-2

• UNI Signaling (ATM Forum UNI 3.0, 3.1, 4.0)

• NNI Signaling (B-ISUP (ITU-T Q.2761 – Q.2764) and B-ICI)

• ILMI (Integrated Local Management Interface)

• ATM Forum PNNI 1.0 signaling and routing

• IP Switching (Ipsilon):

-IFMP (RFC 1953)

-IFMP-C (RFC 1987)

-GSMP (RFC 1954)

• Fore Switch Signaling: SPANS

• ATM Forum MPOA

• Newbridge VIVID (MPOA)

Simulation

The Agilent Advisor is able to simulate upper layer traffic either by the use of

pre-defined messages, e.g. ATM encapsulated ICMP-echo (PING), through the

development of user defined cell sequences. Or, more conveniently, by copying

and pasting previously captured traffic to the cell table and editing it, as

appropriate (see ATM Cell Generation in a later section).
