Paragon-X

Calnex’s Paragon-X tests up to 10G.

It proves that Ethernet-sync and packet-transport products meet industry standards and reliably work under real-world conditions.

Uniquely, the Calnex Paragon-X 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.

The Paragon-X is also able to measure the accuracy of the recovered Time of Day (ToD) and Frequency (MTIE/TDEV) to the specified limits.

• 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.
• Measure recovered Time of Day (ToD) and Frequency (MTIE/TDEV) to specified limits (G.823, G.824, 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
