CV-10G-S8 In Stock

The CV-10G-S8 by Spirent is a cutting-edge HyperMetrics 8-port 10 GbE test module designed to combine network emulation, application traffic, and industry-leading Layer 2-3 traffic generation and analysis, this module offers unparalleled performance for conformance, performance, and functional testing of enterprise and service provider networks. With its remarkable efficiency, the CV-10G-S8 delivers the highest performance per dollar ratio in Layer 2-7 testing solutions, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications. This module is optimized to validate forwarding performance, functional capabilities, or ultra-low latency of large enterprise campus and data center switches with FCoE capabilities.

One of the key advantages of the CV-10G-S8 is its ability to undergo device benchmarking using RFC 3918, RFC 2889, and IETF RFC 2544 methodologies. Tests can be established easily with automated wizards and traffic that is dynamically bound. With a carrier Ethernet, this module ensures comprehensive test coverage by verifying services that are delivered with packet transport protocols, bridged Ethernet, Layer 2 Pseudowires, and VPLS, or any combination of these functions. Furthermore, it can generate traffic that is multi-play over emulated network topologies. Service provider routers can also benefit from the CV-10G-S8, as it allows verification of video, multicast, and Layer 3 services delivered through BGP/MPLS VPN, multicast routing, or mVPN.

The CV-10G-S8 excels in subscriber emulation, enabling the emulation of thousands of access subscribers across multiple ports, experiencing different services under normal or exception traffic conditions. For those requiring lower port-scale testing, this module is compatible with a value-priced 2-port 10 GbE test module. This configuration allows for testing at lower port counts without compromising the reliability and accuracy of results. At the heart of the CV-10G-S8 lies a traditional test module design, allocating CPU resources to specific ports. This design flexibility ensures that CPU resources can be distributed across ports as required, meeting scaling, performance, and functionality needs.

While other test modules may only excel in one dimension, the CV-10G-S8 offers high port scalability, virtual network emulation, and high-capacity application traffic in a single device. This module also has a compact form factor with support for 480 ports per rack, making it the industry's smallest footprint and greenest 10 GbE solution available. By enabling extreme density testing in addition to the reduction of the costs of lab operation and test system operation simplification, the CV-10G-S8 empowers the user to achieve outstanding results efficiently.
