EXFO’s next-generation, 100G, advanced multiservice test solution with CFP4 and QSFP28
interfaces.
ODUflex
The fixed OTN rates, including OTU3 (43 Gbit/s) and OTU4 (112 Gbit/s), among
many other OTN rates, provide an efficient transport mechanism for constant bit
rate (CBR) clients such as SONET/SDH, Ethernet and Fibre Channel. On the
other side, ODUflex provides the ability to create a container that is appropriately
sized for the data rate of the client, offering a single manageable entity across
the OTN that can be a permanently fixed for CBR clients, or adjusted based
on connectivity demand in the network using the generic framing procedure
(GFP). ODUflex uses 1.25 Gbit/s tributary time slots (ODTUGk) to create the
variable container in which a client signal is mapped and then transported.
Using ODUflex in carrier networks brings significant benefits, including higher
efficiency for network configuration and bandwidth allocation, and also provides
a future-proof solution for transporting any client signal at any rate, when needed.
Multichannel OTN
A key element for network equipment manufacturers is the capability to
demonstrate that the bit error rate (BER) of each channel composing the high-rate
pipe complies with the network specifications and therefore meets the expected
quality of services. Again, all the channels must be individually monitored and
the BER performance evaluated separately. It is paramount to have a testing
tool that is capable of performing this evaluation of all independent channels
simultaneously with no wasted time. EXFO’s Multichannel OTN supports
single-stage multiplexing from ODU0 to ODU4 with the support of 80 concurrent
channels, including channelized service disruption measurement of all channels.
Delay Measurement
Today, carriers have an opportunity to turn optical networks into a competitive advantage
by guaranteeing low-latency traffic transmission for delay-sensitive applications,
including video, cloud computing and financial trading applications. With this in
mind, the FTBx-88200NGE module enables OTN, SONET/SDH and Ethernet delay
measurements across all supported testing interfaces. This enables carriers to solidify
their competitive advantage when building low-latency optical transport networks and
guarantee speed of service to their end-customers.
This functionality measures the time required for a bit to travel from the transmitter of the FTBx-88200NGE and back to the
receiver after crossing a far-end loopback, thereby providing complete delay results, including delay measurement and minimum/
maximum/average delay statistics.

In addition, EXFO’s EtherSAM approach proves even more powerful as it executes the complete ITU-T Y.1564 test 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.
iSAM
With iSAM, which includes Y.1564 (EtherSAM) and RFC 6349, the focus is on minimalism and simplicity, making both
tests as simple as possible for all users. This is in sharp contrast with the current situation in the test and measurement
market today. One key aspect of iSAM’s simplicity lies in its efficiency: it only requires a limited number of steps to set up, run
and receive valid test results.
The core objective of iSAM is to remove friction between the user and the testing solution. The end goal is to enable field technicians
of any skill level to set up and run an iSAM test, and all of this is done within a one-page setup.
The innovation does not stop there. iSAM also takes the lead in delivering the latest test and measurement standards. iSAM has
achieved an industry first by introducing actual Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) standards and thresholds to guarantee that service
providers, mobile network operators and multisystem operators are able to test against the latest MEF 23.1 standard.
RFC 6349
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) ratified RFC 6349 as a new method for validating an end-to-end
TCP service. This new TCP throughput test methodology provides a repeatable standards-based test that validates
TCP applications such as web browsing, file transfer, business applications, streaming video and more. After running
the RFC 6349 test, service providers will have all the metrics needed to optimize TCP performance from within their networks or
customer premises equipment.
The RFC 6349 test is important because it includes the steps that follow to help locate and diagnose TCP issues correctly.
The first step consists of finding the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. This ensures that the network is not fragmenting the
traffic. The aim of the second step is to determine the baseline round-trip delay, which means letting the technician know that
this latency value is the best-case scenario that the network under test can deliver. The third step uses either single or multiple
TCP connections to fill the pipe and then report back the actual TCP throughput. Once the test is complete, all TCP metrics are
clearly laid out. If changes are required to optimize the TCP performance, the technician will have all the values needed to rectify the
situation. In the end, the RFC 6349 test helps resolve any potential discrepancies that could occur between the service provider
network and the customer-premises equipment.

IP Connectivity Tools
As part of the IP connectivity tools, the ping tool is used to verify that the user can reach a specific address within or outside
of a subnetwork. The traceroute tool is a modified version of the ping tool and is used to determine the route or the number of
hops that are required to reach a destination host. These basic tools, which are supported on the FTBx-88200NGE module, are
essential when testing through 40G/100G routed networks. The results of these tests can pinpoint critical configuration issues
within the network.
iOptics
The iOptics—Intelligent Pluggable Optics test application is a first-alert
test that can be used in the field or lab environment to efficiently evaluate
proper operation of an optical device using minimal user configuration. The
test application performs the validation using several subtests, in addition to
monitoring the optical-device power consumption and temperature, and reports
an individual verdict for each subtest and monitoring task. The test application
also automatically collects the device manufacturing information, enabling the
user to ensure that the desired device has been tested.
