Digital Lightwave Enhances NIC Platform’s Ethernet Testing Suite

Digital Lightwave, a provider of optical networking test equipment and technology, has announced enhancements to the NIC platform’s ethernet testing suite.

The enhancements will be available first on NIC high-density ethernet modules (multi-port solutions with up to 12 test ports per module) and then in a later release will be introduced on next-generation multi-rate modules (highly configurable combined telecom/datacom testing modules), the company said.

According to the company, the new features include support for 32 simultaneous ethernet streams, four stacked VLANs, rate setting by interpacket gap up to 18 minutes, burst traffic, ramped traffic, through mode, ARP support, runt frame support, an increase of maximum frame size to 16,000 and more.

Doyle Mills, director of product marketing, said: “As the requirements have evolved, we have been able to leverage our technology platform, providing additional features and protecting our customers’ investment. The flexibility of the NIC platform and the innovative design of both high-density ethernet and next-generation multi-rate modules make us the best choice for ethernet testing in the real world.”
