EtherSAM (Y.1564)
EtherSAM can simulate all types of services that will run on the network
and simultaneously qualify all key SLA parameters for each of these
services. Moreover, it validates the QoS mechanisms provisioned in the
network to prioritize the different service types, resulting in more accurate
validation and much faster deployment and troubleshooting.
The EtherSAM (Y.1564) test, in single port configuration, has to be
executed in conjunction with a remote module or in Internal Loopback
mode. The remote module can be either in loopback configuration for
unidirectional testing or in EtherSAM Dual Test Set mode for bidirectional
testing.
The Dual Test Set test allows bi-directional test between two compatible
modules providing independent results for each test direction. The results
from local-to-remote and remote-to-local are available on the local testing
unit.
The Dual Port topology allows simultaneous and bidirectional traffic
generation and analysis at 100% wire-speed at any packet size. Dual Port
topology is only available for rates up to 10G LAN.
