Ixia and Alcatel-Lucent Validate IEEE 1588v2 Performance for Mobile Backhaul (00:05:13) - February, 2011 Ixia's IEEE 1588v2 protocol emulation, network simulation, and traffic generation solution was used to simulate real-world mobile backhaul network conditions around Alcatel-Lucent's market-leading 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR). The test demonstrated the functionality, performance, and robust operation of 1588v2 on the 7705 SAR under highly-scaled network conditions and traffic load. The observed measurements verified that the 7705 SAR implementation is capable of satisfying 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile service synchronization requirements over packet-based backhaul networks under simulated real-world conditions. Other 7705 SAR synchronization capabilities include support for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), adaptive clock recovery, external reference timing and line timing. |

An Overview of Next-Generation 100 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet Technologies
(424.15 KB) - This white paper discusses how advances in data center technology and Internet usage have pushed enterprises to demand higher speed Internet connections.
-
Enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet Implementing PCS Lanes
(435.71 KB) - In order to make 100 GbE immediately available, it is important that it operate in conjunction with existing, deployed fiber. This requires technology that flexibly maps a single 100 Gb/s stream of data into a variable number of data "lanes" that can be used in bundles.
-
Router Testing with Real-World Emulation
(922.03 KB) - explores the reasons why scalability during device and network testing is essential. Demonstrates the need for scalability for testing IPv4/IPv6 networks, testing multicast VPN scenarios, testing carrier-class switches and routers and testing with stateful traffic.
