Paragon
Calnex’s Paragon proves that Ethernet-sync and packet-transport products meet industry standards and reliably work under real-world conditions.
Uniquely, the Calnex Paragon lets you capture real-world Packet Delay Variation (PDV) profiles from your existing network and replay those same profiles in a controlled lab environment, enabling you to prove your 1588v2, CES and NTP Products will work in the complex world of Ethernet switches, routers and gateways before deployment.
- Fully stress-test elements that deliver synchronisation over packet-based networks.
- Prove 1588v2 (PTP), Sync-E, CES, Pseudowire, NTP, etc. implementations. to ITU-T G.8261, etc.
- Stress and validate Ethernet OAM to Y.1731 and 802.1ag
- Capture real-world PDV profiles over long periods, then replay these in a repeatable, controllable environment.
- Edit and change monitored PDV profiles before replay.
- Introduce packet corruption events, lost packets, mis-ordered packets, and repeated packets.
- Validate Sync-E and ESMC to ITU-T G.8262 and G.8264
Calnex Paragon: 1588v2 testing, Sync-E testing, Y.1731 testing
For most, the migration to an all-Ethernet or all-IP network will be a gradual process as network operators endeavour to maximise the lifespan of their existing TDM assets.
