Alcatel-Lucent tests 400G Network Processor with Spirent communication
Alcatel-Lucent has selected Spirent Communications solution to test the performance of its new FP3 400G network processor in advance of its commercial introduction. The Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics mX 40/100G provided Alcatel-Lucent with the ability to test its FP3-based Service Router modules under high-scale services and traffic.
"Our innovative FP3 processor delivers a four-fold increase in performance over today's leading-edge NPU silicon. To ensure we are able to address the needs of tomorrow's IP networks, it is critical to validate how our solutions will perform in the real world as our service provider customers enhance their offerings and deploy 100GE technology. We look for test products that can match our leading-edge capabilities to ensure we deliver to our customers the reliability and quality they need. As we validated our high-density 100GE modules, Spirent was able to provide the robust testing we looked for to confirm that we had a deployment-ready product," said Kevin Macaluso, VP and general manager, Service Router product group, Alcatel-Lucent.
Spirent provides key test capabilities, which includes Multi-protocol testing at extreme scale by leveraging an advanced test architecture based on Spirent TestCenter Cloud Core technology. The highest test port density with one-to-one ratio between test port and device under test, translating to the need for less equipment, power and management with improved cost savings over traditional solutions
"We are the only test equipment provider to architect our solutions specifically to address the industry's move toward multi-protocol environments. Our no-compromise approach doesn't force our customers to choose one particular aspect of testing over another. With the highest port density, performance per port, and scale testing, our test solution helps determine how tomorrow's network equipment performs under realistic conditions," said Jeff Schmitz, VP, marketing, Networks & Applications group, Spirent.
