Important Technology BackgroundThe market for GigE Installation and Maintenance testers is growing 20% annually.
The market drivers are networkmigration from PDH/SDH to IP and high growth of VoIP, IPTV and data servicesNew adoption of mobile network wire line backhaul services is one more driver for rapid growth of Ethernet deployments As Ethernet is becoming a standard transport media the market is now demanding high quantities of low cost dedicated GigE test equipment for basic Ethernet installation and maintenance as supplement to all-in-one-box testers

Why Users Need the NM GigE TesterOut-of-service testing
Installation and commissioning of new Ethernet linesOperators normally verify quality/performance of new lines before they are taken into operationRFC 2544 defines tests describing the performance characteristics of these lines.RFC 2544 is typically used for bringing into service
Easily test the quality of a communication lineLoop back the NM GigE test signal using a cable or special configuration at the far end

Why Users Need the NM GigE TesterEthernet Multistream testing is important:
By sending several streams of traffic with different priority the user can verify that high priority traffic is transported better (i.e. has lower frame loss ratio) through a congested network than low priority traffic.VoIP traffic is often given a high priority in order to ensure the quality of the service
VLAN tag priority may be used to give high priorityDSCP/TOS byte may be used to give high priorityTCP/UDP port numbers may be used to give high priority

In-service analysis with pass through modeLive system troubleshooting
E.g. transmission errors seen for both sides of the line simultaneouslyBi-directional analysis gives best problem resolution
Monitoring both directions of the line simultaneouslyLive system transmission performance analysis
Bi-directional analysis monitors performance properlyEnsure that traffic runs smoothly both ways
