Key ATM Features and Functionality
The software provides the following powerful ATM features and
functions:
• Handles ATM testing rates from 1.5 Mb/s to 622 Mb/s; ATM Interfaces
including T1/E1, J2, E3/T3, STM- 1/OC- 3, STM- 1e/ EC- 3, STM- 4/OC- 12,
ATM25 (25.6 Mb/s UTP- 3/5) and UTP155 are available as plug- in
modules or undercradles
• Auto- discovers up to 1024 Virtual Channels on all ATM interfaces
• Analyses protocols including full rate capture with capture and display
filtering and searching (e.g. set the capture filter to capture only ATM
streams carrying IP traffic with specific IP addresses)
• Monitors, captures data, and decodes upper and lower layer protocols
in real time
• Decodes and logs statistics for LAN encapsulated protocols over ATM,
including Voice over IP decodes: H.323 series, IETF series (SIP, MGCP,
SGCP, MEGACO), ITU- T T.38
• Finds Errors in capture file or buffer
• Decodes AAL- 1, AAL- 2, AAL- 3/4, AAL- 5
• AAL 5 CRC Statistics
• Decodes Frame Relay over ATM
• Decodes ATM UNI, NNI (B- ISUP, B- ICI) and PNNI signaling
• Decodes IMA Control Protocol (ICP) cells
• Real- time and post- processing User Assisted LAN over ATM
• Emulates ATM UNI signaling -- check call set- up procedures
• Emulates ELAN Join (LANE)
• Generates user- defined cell traffic from a cell table
• Retransmits captured traffic which has been copied and pasted to the
cell table, modified (e.g. VPI- VCI and/or embedded IP addresses
changed); the HEC and AAL- 5 CRC- 32 are automatically recalculated
• Generates ATM ICMP Echo (PING)
• Generates and analyses OAM cells
• Tests ATM QoS performance to the ITU- T O.191 standard -- measures
cell loss, cell delay, cell delay variation, cell mis- insertion and cell
errors
• Generates ATM traffic shaped to traffic contracts
• Polices ATM traffic to traffic contracts
• Tests simultaneously with other technologies (e.g. SS7, GSM, CDMA,
• GPRS, Ethernet)
• Measures optical power
Line Vital Statistics
ATM Line Vital Statistics saves valuable time automating the
troubleshooting process. The Vitals application provides a quick view of
overall ATM network health. From Vitals you can drill down to pinpoint
a specific problem.
Values in the Vitals display are given in tabular form and are cumulative
from the start of the test, except the instantaneous utilization, which is
also displayed in graphical format for a quick view of overall usage of
the network. Vitals data include such statistics as average utilization in
percent, instantaneous utilization in percent, total cells, idle cells, busy
cells, header (‘‘HEC’’) errors, code violations and frame alignment errors.
