In my previous blog, I focused on validation for MACsec hardware implementations. In this one, I will focus on validation for MACsec control plane - MACsec key agreement (MKA) protocol.
Technology Overview
MKA protocol is defined in the IEEE 802.1X – 2010 standard. It is used to discover…

Adoption of 5G Giving Birth to an Ethernet-Based Fronthaul
The operators adopting 5G are interested in moving to flexible Cloud RAN (C-RAN) architecture that enables them to address different application requirements by locating storage and compute resources either at the base of the cell site or…

While working with a customer who was using low-end, low-budget traffic generators, it turned out that just sending packets was not enough to fully analyze a time-sensitive networking (TSN) protocol implementation. Full device verification requires packet timing and implementation of protocol…
