Put Your 400GE Product to Work Now!

 

400GE is undergoing rapid development to meet the growing bandwidth requirements of ever-evolving data networks. Core networking applications are increasing by a factor of 10 every 5 years. 400GE addresses the broad range of bandwidth requirements to support these key application areas such as cloud-scale data centers, Internet exchanges, co-location services, wireless infrastructure, service provider and operator networks, and video distribution infrastructure.

 

Test tomorrow’s technology today

 

Ixia’s K400 CFP8-400GE load module will accelerate your development of IEEE 802.3bs-compliant 400GE networking systems. Giving development teams the options they need to create the networking technologies of the future, these load modules are available in two different models:

• Full feature and scale CFP8-400GE

• Reduced feature and scale CFP8-R400GE

Both models enable full line-rate traffic generation to transmit, receive, and capture functionality from 64B to 16,000B frame lengths. This facilitates stress testing, hardware/ASIC bring-up, optics and cable qualification, interoperability, and functional test and Layer 2/3 routing protocol emulation as required.

 

K400 CFP8-400GE: A full-featured model with 1-port, 2-slot, native CFP8 400GE load module designed for enterprise and data center switch and router testing.

 

K400 CFP8-R400GE: A reduced-featured model with 1-port, 2-slot, native CFP8 400GE load module designed for hardware, ASIC, cable/optics qualification, and interoperability testing. The CFP8-R400GE scales down the L2/3 feature set and L2/3 networking protocol scaling, while increasing affordability.

 

The CFP8-R400GE load module may be upgraded in the field to have a higher capacity L2/3 feature set and L2/3 networking protocol scaling performance through a purchasable upgrade option. This extends the reuse of the load module and improves the ROI.

 

K400 Key Features

 

• Line-rate 400Gbps packet generation, capture, and analysis of received traffic to detect and de-bug data transmission errors

• Line-rate per-port and per-flow statistics

• High latency measurement resolution at 0.625ns

• RS-544 (KP4) Forward Error Correction (FEC) support

• Native 28Gb/s SERDES with NRZ encoding support that is IEEE 802.3bs compliant

• FEC error injection with a comprehensive set of FEC corrected and uncorrected statistics, including Bit Error Rate statistics for pre- and post-FEC operations

• Inject packet errors: CRCs, runts, giants, alignments, checksum errors, and out of sequence

• Standard Ixia instrumentation including timestamp, sequence number and flow identification, and data integrity

• Layer 1 BERT: 16 independent lanes of 28Gb/s PRBS pattern generation, error checking, and statistics

• 400G PCS lanes Transmit, error injection testing and receive measurement: o Per-lane controls and status, FEC and error monitoring, error insertion, lane mapping and skew insertion

• ±100 PPM line frequency adjustment

• Mid-to-high-range L2/3 networking protocol emulation to validate performance and scalability of L2/3 routing/switching and data center test cases using the Ixia’s IxNetwork application

• An excellent test platform for full line-rate 400Gb/s to evaluate the new 400GE ASIC designs, FPGAs, and hardware switch fabrics that use the new 16x28Gb/s electrical interface with NRZ encoding

• Supports benchmarking of networking devices and equipment using industry-standard RFC benchmark tests at line-rate 400GE

• Supported by the XGS12 and XGS2 High Performance (HSL) and Standard Performance (SDL chassis model with the Native IxOS

• Application support including: IxExplorer, IxNetwork, and related Tcl and automation APIs
