In addition to the basic transport functionality verification, it also demonstrated sub-50ms convergence recovery against packet MPLS transport network failures. Other tests that were carried out verified the traffic policing, confirming the capability of device under test to meet the service provider’s service level agreement requirements. The testing further investigated and confirmed forwarding performance of the platform for different frame sizes for ATM and Ethernet traffic.
