Quality of Service

Test. Improve. Repeat.

Xena Networks light logo
Traffic is prioritized according to its importance and some types of traffic are more sensitive to latency, jitter and packet loss than other. Xena offers QoS validation solutions in accordance with RFC 2544 and Y.1564, as well as advanced statistics functions that help users track, analyze and troubleshoot QoS to maintain a high service quality guarantee.

Testing that link performance complies with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) includes verifying Frame Transfer Delay (FTD), Frame Delay Variation (FDV) and Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) at the Committed Information Rate (CIR) defined in the SLA. Verifying the SLA with the Xena1564 allows doing the test on a line simultaneously loaded with traffic from other services.

Xena White Papers

… relevant for this type of testing

Latency & Jitter white paper cover

Latency & Jitter

This White Paper clarifies terms used in time measurement e.g. latency, jitter, inter-frame gap, latency resolution, speed mismatch, latency over time, and distribution and presents how Xena interprets and implements time measurements.

Automotive Ethernet white paper cover

Automotive Ethernet Testing

The automotive industry is finally going digital. Initiatives like the BroadR-Reach 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet standard seek to minimize the weight and cost of electrical cabling – now the 3rd largest weight component.

PAM4 AN-LT white paper cover

Autoneg & Link Training

Discover how Xena’s Thor-400G-7S-1P test module supports auto-negotiation and link training for PAM4 data rates up to 400GE.

QoS Validation white paper cover

Quality of Service Validation

Xena offers QoS validation solutions in accordance with RFC 2544 and Y.1564, as well as advanced statistics functions that help users track, analyze and troubleshoot QoS to maintain a high service quality guarantee.

Open Flow white paper cover

OpenFlow®

Learn about OpenFlow performance testing and how Xena’s Valkyrie platforms are used to verify OpenFlow performance of switches in SW-defined networks.

Digital networking lines over cityscape

100G PON

Xena’s Valkyrie platform made it easy for BT to verify the performance of their new 100G PON solution. PON is an access network technology that ensures high-speed network access to business and private users.

SD-WAN

SD-WANs make it easier to centrally manage WANs spread across a wide area. Learn how Xena’s traffic generation and analysis solutions are used to test and verify SD-WANs.

G-PON Certification white paper cover

GPON Certification with LAN

This White Paper examines the background for BBF.247 testing and how LAN – the Laboratoire des Applications Numériques – uses Xena’s solutions for their formal certification process.

GPON Testing white paper cover

GPON Testing

Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON) support digital communication to end customers at rates up to 2.4 Gbps downstream and 1.2 Gbps (optionally 2.4 Gbps) upstream. A GPON requires active transmission equipment at its borders, and this equipment will of course need to be tested.
