Spirent fX3 HSE Modules

Quint-Speed High-Speed Ethernet Test Modules

The Spirent fX3 family of multi-speed High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) test modules are the industry's first capable of quint-speed operation. Support for the latest Data Center speeds of 25G and 50G are combined with "legacy" speeds of 100G, 40G and 10G to ensure dataplane QoS performance over realistic routing and cloud infrastructure topologies of the latest highdensity multi-terabit routers and cloud-scale Data Center switches.

The Spirent fX3 Ethernet multi-speed test modules combine Spirent's industry-leading Layer 2�3 traffic generation and analysis with powerful network emulation and application layer protocols for emulating a wide range of device types, users and protocols. These modules deliver the highest performance per dollar for Layer 2�7 testing. Reduced power consumption and quint-speed support results in lower CAPEX and OPEX. These modules are ideal for functional and performance testing of data center and service provider network infrastructure where extreme protocol performance is not required.
These modules are designed with two QSFP28 ports that utilize four 25G electrical lanes each to support the latest 100/50/25G transceivers and interconnects. The multi-speed QSFP28 interfaces are combined with Spirent's flexible FPGA logic to allow mode-switching of the fX3 packet generation and analysis engine to operate at 100, 50, 40, 25 and 10 gig speeds. The fX3 module family is available in several speed combinations to match your test needs and budget.
Applications
� Service Provider Core and Edge Routers--Verify scale, reliability, and performance of Layer 2 & 3 services including IP data and video delivered via unicast routing, multicast routing, switching, Multicast VPN, EVPN and MPLS VPN technologies.
� Data Center Top of Rack, Spine and Core Switches--Benchmark capacity of high-density and capacity fabrics using IETF RFC 2544, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 methodologies with easy test setup using dynamically bound traffic and automated wizards.
� Carrier Ethernet--Verify scale, reliability, performance of Ethernet services delivered via Ethernet OAM (CFM IEEE 802.1ag and Y.1731), MPLS-TP, VPLS, PWE3 Pseudowires, bridged Ethernet, packet transport protocols or combinations of these technologies.

� QSFP28 connector form-factor supports the latest 4x25G-based transceivers
� Low total cost of ownership compared to other test modules in its class: � Excellent price-performance ratio that delivers faster time-to-market by combining leading-edge technical innovation with Spirent's extensive testing experience � Intelligent power control to shut down unused test modules and allows faster boot time to bring capacity back on-line quickly � More total throughput than the competition for a given power footprint � Enhanced chassis software license value--Two to four times the device or end-user emulation per chassis with no increase in software costs � Topology emulation lowers Capex by eliminating the need for multiple DUTs in multiprotocol tests � Intelligent results gets answers in a fraction of the test time required by competitive products � Faster boot and firmware upgrade times mean less downtime in continuous running 24x7 regression test beds
Technical Specifications

� Spirent TestCenter's industry-leading Layer 2�3 feature set:
� "Hardened" system proven for testing from a single port up to 2,100 ports
� Stress ASIC and backplane designs with live traffic changes. The number of emulated devices, the traffic they emanate and the rate at which they send it can all be changed "on the fly" making for more realistic tests and faster troubleshooting
� Best-in-industry for measuring ultra-low submicrosecond latencies with 2.5ns precision and resolution. Latency accuracy up to 10 times better than the competition
� 19 different scheduling algorithms available for finding the right traffic to emulate the real world or tax the device's ability to handle any traffic pattern--from micro-bursts to carefully timed sequences of "killer" frames
� fX3 modules support Spirent TestCenter's deep analysis system:
� Port counts, rates, errors and protocol summaries provide a high-level view for quick drilldown to specific issues
� Broadest set of per stream metrics with simultaneous control and data plane results allows most tests to be run in a single pass
� Real-time traffic filters allow analysis down to specific fields. Multiple metrics can be simultaneously collected and instantly analyzed
� Dynamic views feature multi-metric extraction, sorting and operation in real-time or post-test
� Full packet capture enables timing, sequencing and content analysis for individual packets
� Powerful filters ensure the capture buffer is filled with relevant data
