Accedian Tests Throughput

MONTREAL -- Accedian Networks Inc., a leading provider of Service Assurance solutions and Ethernet Demarcation Devices, today announced the introduction of a new technology allowing Ethernet Service Providers to validate the maximum throughput of a circuit while the end-customer traffic remains completely unaffected.

The new patent-pending feature allows carriers to prove the end-user is getting the bandwidth he’s paying for without having to bring down the service, and thus generating considerable savings in OPEX by avoiding the use of costly maintenance windows (nights and weekends). Furthermore, it allows periodically exercising maximum service performance after commissioning changes in the network.

“For the past several years, RFC-2544 has been the standard method to validate the performance of an Ethernet Virtual Circuit at the time of turn-up or out-of-service” said Patrick Ostiguy CEO of Accedian Networks “Accedian now offers a breakthrough method to perform in-service RFC-2544 validation non-intrusively, while end-user traffic continues flowing seamlessly”.
