FTB-8510B Packet Blazer
ASSESSING ETHERNET SERVICE PERFORMANCE
EXFO’s FTB-8510B Packet Blazer™ brings performance assurance to Ethernet-based services. Its wide range of test functionalities
provides all the necessary measurement tools for verifying service-level agreements (SLA) between service providers and their
customers. This module is the ideal tool for turning-up and troubleshooting Ethernet-based mobile backhaul, commercial and
wholesale services. Combined with its rack-mounted remote test unit counterpart, the RTU-310 and the FTB-800 NetBlazer
Series, the FTB-8510B simplifies and speeds up the deployment of Ethernet services.
ETHERSAM: THE NEW STANDARD IN ETHERNET TESTING
ITU-T Y.1564 is the new standard for turning up and troubleshooting Carrier Ethernet services. This methodology is completely
adapted to today’s Ethernet services especially mobile backhaul and commercial services. It is also significantly faster, therefore
saving time and resources while optimizing QoS.
The FTB-8510B can perform the EtherSAM (Y.1564) test suite for 10/100/1000M interfaces, at all frame sizes and at full line rate.
EXFO’s EtherSAM approach proves even more powerful as it executes the complete ITU-T Y.1564 test suite bidirectionally. Key
SLA parameters are measured independently in each test direction, thus providing 100% first-time-right service activation—the
highest level of confidence in service testing.
