Enhanced 622 Mbps POS Testing from RADCOM's WireSpeed
The only available portable Packet over SONET/SDH protocol analyzer on the market now provides a full solution for POS Service Providers and Carrier Market
MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1999-- RADCOM Ltd. (NASDAQ:RDCM - news), a leader in the field of protocol analyzers, announces the release of major enhancements to the WireSpeed POS 622/155 Mbps analyzer.
The new software version 2.60 is a complete POS network development and support solution. It adds critical online analysis, PPP link negotiation, and new online filters and triggers to its existing full line rate capture, 350+ protocol support and wire speed generation capabilities.
''The RADCOM WireSpeed Packet over SONET analyzer's ability to generate and decode different types of traffic on an emulated PPP link was extremely useful to our OC12 POS development efforts,'' said Bruce Bowers, Software Development Test Engineer from Cisco Systems. ''RADCOM's analyzer gave us the ability to look at all layers - from SONET to Packet to IP - with a single box. This feature, coupled with its extensive filtering capabilities, shortened testing and debugging time.''
More than traditional full-rate traffic generation, the WireSpeed offers flexible TCP/IP packet building and accurate timestamp. It also provides simultaneous line-rate analysis of top applications, IP talkers, and listeners, as well as frame size distribution and IP and HDLC statistics.
''To manage commercial high-speed links, it is necessary to look at top IP applications and to analyze top layer protocols such as H.323, MPLS, SIP, MAPOS, SRP and non-IP protocols, as well as view top users,'' stated Doron Elinav, RADCOM Product Manager. ''We combine these features with PPP Link Negotiation and improved filtering by IP address or protocol field, all in real time. In addition, we offer the IP Builder, which enables the building of higher layer traffic, such as UDP, TCP, FTP, HTTP and ICMP. RADCOM's WireSpeed supports remote access either through a LAN or dial-up connection, with support for Windows, LINUX and Solaris platforms,'' he adds. All these capabilities make the WireSpeed an extremely valuable tool for managing and maintaining high-speed POS links. In addition, because of its unique monitoring, statistics, and filtering capabilities, the WireSpeed may be used for stressing and troubleshooting live networks, including ISP backbones.
Since the same WireSpeed hardware supports both ATM and POS, the WireSpeed is the perfect solution for network professionals who need to test and manage both ATM and POS networks. When running ATM software, the WireSpeed tests OC-12 and OC-3 ATM networks and supports high-speed ATM analysis by utilizing an add-on software package. The ATM portion supports Quality of Service testing, policing, full-duplex monitoring of 350+ protocols, real-time filters, generation and statistics on both single-mode and multi-mode links. Both OC-12c/STM4 and OC-3c/STM1 interfaces are available in hot-swappable LIMs. All of these features are available simultaneously at full line rates.
The new version of WireSpeed Packet over SONET/SDH version 2.60 is now available for immediate shipping. RADCOM's current customers will receive the update free of charge.
