Overview
The LightSpeed 1000 is our new dual OC-3 / STM-1 and OC-12 / STM-4 PCI-Express card for protocol analysis and
emulation of ATM, POS, RAW, and Ethernet traffic. The card has 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) port,
and a USB 2.0 interface making this card one of the most versatile and powerful cards in GL's repertoire. LightSpeed 1000
comes with software for overall monitoring, BERT, emulation, and protocol analysis with a price tag that compares very
favorably with similar test instruments at three times the price.
Multiple cards are possible in a rack PC for analysis of four or more directions simultaneously. When LightSpeed 1000
is enclosed (as shown above and coming soon), the USB 2.0 interface is used to connect with a Notebook PC. The GigE
port provides independent Ethernet testing at wirespeed for applications such as BERT and RFC 2544.
A unique feature of the card is the capability to capture and transmit at wirespeed to/from hard disk on all interfaces.
Main Features
Some unique features that stand out are:
- Ability to capture to disk at full rate in both directions without error. This permits detailed offline analysis that is not
possible with other test instruments.
Capture is possible on both optical ports and the single Ethernet port. Triggered and filtered capture is also possible.
- Wirespeed BERT over ATM, POS, and RAW formats on both ports simultaneously
- Complex and flexible filtering options: sixteen 128 bit independently applied filters, both ports, 128 bit user defined
mask per filter, AND/OR Boolean expressions, include and exclude conditions
- Hardware based precise time stamping of cells / packets with 10 nsec resolution, 1 ppm accuracy
- Portability thru a USB 2.0 Interface
- Single mode or multi mode Fiber SFP support
- High performance x4 PCIe compliant interface
- Onboard SODIMM memory (DDR2) – up to 2 Giga bytes
- Provides external LEDs for LOS, LOF alarms for visual inspection. Also supports LED that can be configured by the
users
- Flexible DMA circular buffer architecture to read and write cells and packets at wire-speed
- Multiple cards per system for super high capacity monitoring and test system
- Hardware independent of higher level protocol for easy adaptation of future protocols
POS, or Packet over SONET / SDH at OC-3/ STM-1 OC-12 / STM-4 is supported at full rates over dual interfaces. Access,
capture, analysis, and emulation of PPP and HDLC, all carrying IP traffic in real-time makes this card useful to many
applications including Routing, Deep Packet Inspection, and other Internet traffic applications. Current POS applications
include:
- PoS Protocol Analysis with PPP / HDLC at wirespeed
- POS Tx / Rx Test – an emulation and test capability that transmits test packets and checks packets
on receive
- POS BERT – support for the following PRBS Patterns: 2ˆ9 – 1, 2ˆ11 – 1, 2ˆ15 – 1,
2ˆ20 – 1, 2ˆ23 – 1, 2ˆ29 – 1, 2ˆ31 – 1, all one's, all zero's, alternate ones and zeros, user-defined
pattern of lengths from 2 to 32 bits, invert and non-invert selections, single bit error insertion, error insert rate from
10ˆ-1 to 10ˆ-9, status for pattern sync, bit errors counters, and packet rate and packet gap
configuration options, configurable header lengths and header information
- Wirespeed capture of POS packets to hard disk on both ports simultaneously; Filtering and time stamping of packets
- Receive Packets to File – to capture the incoming packets to a file
- Transmit Packets from File – to playback already captured data in a file
- Alarms and error (section, path, and line) monitoring and logging
- Memory loopback – to loopback the packets / cells received
ATM at OC-3/ STM-1 OC-12 / STM-4 is supported at full rates over dual interfaces. Access, capture, analysis, and
emulation of ATM cells at wire-speed make this interface capability applicable for wide ranging next generation networks.
Current ATM applications include
- ATM Protocol Analysis for AAL2 and AAL5
- UMTS Protocol Analysis for analyzing UMTS over ATM
- ATM Tx / Rx Test - an emulation and test capability that transmits test cells and checks same on receive
- ATM BERT - support for the following PRBS Patterns: 2ˆ9 – 1, 2ˆ11 – 1, 2ˆ15 – 1,
2ˆ20 – 1, 2ˆ23 – 1, 2ˆ29 – 1, 2ˆ31 – 1, all one's, all zero's, alternate ones and zeros, user-defined
pattern of lengths from 2 to 32 bits, invert and non-invert selections, single bit error insertion, error insert rate from
10ˆ-1 to 10ˆ-9, status for pattern sync, bit errors counters, and cell rate and cell gap configuration options
- Other ATM BERT options – 52 byte ATM cell (without HEC) and 53 byte ATM cell (with HEC), HEC error insertion,
on receive filtering is provided for idle cells, GFC, VPI, VCI, CL, and PT cells, statistical details for total cells, valid cells, idle
cells, filtered cells, and filtered out cells
- Wirespeed capture of ATM cells to hard disk on both ports simultaneously, filtering and time stamping of cells
- Receive Packets to File – to capture the incoming packets to a file
- Transmit Packets from File – to playback already captured data in a file
- Alarms and error (section, path, and line) monitoring and logging
- Memory loopback – to loopback the packets / cells received
RAW or Transparent Mode
Raw or transparent mode allows direct access to the SONET / SDH payload for BERT, data transmit and receive
applications. Current applications include:
- RAW BERT - support for the following PRBS Patterns: 2ˆ9 – 1, 2ˆ11 – 1, 2ˆ15 – 1, 2ˆ20 – 1,
2ˆ23 – 1, 2ˆ29 – 1, 2ˆ31 – 1, all one's, all zero's, alternate ones and zeros, user-defined pattern of
lengths from 2 to 32 bits, invert and non-invert selections, single bit error insertion, error insert rate from 10ˆ-1
to 10ˆ-9, status for pattern sync, and bit errors counters
- Wirespeed capture of raw data to hard disk on both ports simultaneously
- Alarms and Error (section, path, and line) monitoring and logging
- Memory loopback – to loopback the packets / cells received
