AUGUST 24, 2006 -- Spirent Communications (Search Spirent) today announced that the China Academy of Telecommunication Research (CATR) of the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) has selected Spirent for large-scale testing of 10-Gigabit core routers.
According to Spirent representatives, the test solutions will enable CATR to test the performance of core routers under high-capacity configurations and extreme networks conditions found in real-world operations.
Spirent test solutions enable network equipment manufacturers and service providers to accurately measure the performance and stability of routers and switches, says the company. The test systems provide wireline packet generation and analysis, with sophisticated quality-of-service (QoS) models for simulation of real-world network scenarios. The CATR test environment consists of 16 ultra-high-capacity 10-Gbit/sec packet-over-SONET (PoS) interfaces.
"Spirent is honored to be able to provide the China Academy of Telecommunication Research with test solutions for the large-scale 10-Gigabit core routers testing," asserts Gene Zhang, vice president and general manager for Spirent Communications Asia. "Spirent test systems, along with professional services, allow customers to validate complex products and services within a defined timeframe and budget."
As a part of the test series, Spirent will assess the performance of MPLS platforms, VPNs, multicast service, and IPv6 networks. With these series of tests, CATR will be able to fully access the extreme forwarding capacity of core router devices and understand the technological trend of mainstream routers, claims Spirent. The test series also will provide valuable data and experiences to telecom research organizations in China for researches and explorations on router testing methodologies.
