Record-breaking test comprised 768 ports of
100GbE with throughput of more than 100 million frames per
second
Spirent Communications, Plc (LSE: SPT), the industry leader in
Ethernet test and measurement, announced today the successful
support of New H3C in the industry’s highest density 100G data
center switch test ever conducted. The test, completed by Spirent
Communications and the New H3C Group and moderated by independent
test lab Network Test, tested the line-rate forwarding capacity and
hyper-scale IP route announcement capacity of the H3C S12500X-AF
chassis full of 100G ports with a density of 768 100G ports per
chassis.
According to David Newman of Network Test, “With 768 ports, this
is the largest 100G Ethernet switch test successfully completed in
the industry so far. The stress tests we conducted involved nearly
1 million unique BGP routes as well as 768 concurrent EVPN
instances within a single chassis. These benchmarks, based on open
testing standards, successfully verified New H3C data center core
switches, with Spirent TestCenter providing the high density, high
performance, and high flexibility required for this record-breaking
project.”
The test was conducted using Spirent TestCenter® and the Spirent
N11U chassis, Spirent’s flagship network performance test solution.
The Spirent N11U chassis included the high density dX3 12-port 100G
test modules capable of verifying next-generation data center
architectures and routers. Spirent TestCenter generated 100G
line-rate transaction traffic of various frame lengths, and
provided packet loss, latency, jitter, frame sequence, code errors
and FCS error analytics to reflect the quality of transmission in
real time.
“The S12500X-AF series of switches provide a maximum of 48 100G
QSFP28 pluggable optical modules per slot, which is the highest
density in the world, with New H3C being the only vendor in the
industry to provide full line-rate 768 100G ports for datacenter
core switches,” said Steven Yoe, Senior Vice President and CTO of
the New H3C Group. “We were pleased to work with Spirent to verify
the performance of S12500X-AF and achieve satisfactory test
results.”
“Generation after generation of Spirent Ethernet testing
technologies have helped our customers take advantage of market
opportunities. We appreciate New H3C Group for selecting Spirent as
a trusted testing partner for verifying the performance of its
S12500X-AF series of switches” said Eric Hutchinson, CEO of Spirent
Communications.
The Spirent dX3 quint-speed test module supports twelve 100G or
40G ports per slot, or twenty five 50G ports, or forty eight 25G or
10G ports per slot. It also supports key interface features such as
FEC, Auto-negotiation and Link Training. It can be used to verify
data plane Quality of Service (QoS) for hyper-dense network devices
at line-rate, and to test complex routing, data center and access
protocols on switches and routers.
