Gl Communications Introduces Wire-Speed 100 Gbps Ethernet And Ip Testing Solution


(MENAFN- globenewswire - nasdaq) gaithersburg, md., aug. 22, 2023 (globe newswire) -- gl communications inc., a global leader in telecom test and measurement solutions, addressed the press regarding their high-speed ethernet and ip testing solution - packetexperttm 100g . packetexperttm 100g is tailored for wire-speed ethernet and ip testing at speeds of 1, 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100 gbps.

“the packetexperttm 100g is a hardware platform designed for wire-speed ethernet and ip testing up to 100 gbps. unlike previous version of the packetexperttm , the packetexperttm 100g is a full-fledged pc with specialized network interface cards, gl's proprietary packetexperttm software, optimized ram, storage, processing, and cooling. the ethernet ports support speeds of 1 gbps, 10 gbps, 25 gbps, 40 gbps, 50 gbps and 100 gbps,” said vijay kulkarni, ceo of gl communications.

available in both portable (“lunchbox”) and rack-mount configurations, it can accommodate up to 10 x 100 gbps ports in a single appliance. the intuitive web-based user interface supports multi-user and multi-location access where users can configure test parameters, start, and stop tests, view real-time graphs and export results to pdf and csv.

packetexperttm 100g can perform bit error rate testing (bert), rfc 2544 (throughput, packet loss and latency measurements) and smart loopback testing by default. the application will soon support itu-t y.1564 testing (for verifying service level agreements) and ethernet oam (y.1731) test capabilities. these applications make the packetexperttm 100g an ideal solution for testing high speed backhaul networks or data center interconnects.

multiple users with multiple servers and devices
the packetexperttm 100g web interface enables access to multiple servers across the lan, supporting multiple connected devices.
