EXFO Simplifies Testing for IPv6
EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering (EXFO) implemented optional IPv6 testing that can be extended for the complete portfolio of transport and data communication test modules. This testing enables the efficiency and nurtures the rapid development motto of next generation IP services.
The portfolio of transport and datacom modules includes the complete Packet Blazer series (FTB/IQS-8510B, FTB/IQS-8510G, FTB/IQS-8525 and FTB/IQS-8535), the Power Blazer series (FTB/IQS-8120NGE and FTB/IQS-8130NGE) and the AXS-200/850 Ethernet Test Set.
The service providers have the advantage of using the complete Ethernet testing for IPv4 and IPv6 deployments that include BERT, RFC 2544 and advanced layer 3 and 4 multistream traffic generation and analysis.
Etienne Gagnon, EXFO’s Vice-President of Product Management and Marketing says..
“The wireless industry has been instrumental in driving the wide-spread adoption of advanced multimedia services; but in order to sustain this growth, government bodies and service providers worldwide must rapidly convert their network infrastructures to support the greater routing and address translation demands of IPv6 addressing schemes,”
