TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Demonstrates Industry's First OC-768c Routing Test Solutions.CHICAGO -- New Interface for Agilent N2X Provides Wire-Speed Traffic Generation and Internet-Scale Protocol Simulation at 40 Gb/s Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) is demonstrating the capabilities of its industry-leading Agilent N2X OC-768c POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale XS test card using the new Cisco Carrier Routing System. The demonstration, held at Cisco's booth no. 25910 at Supercomm, showcases next-generation routing performance to enable integrated voice, video, and data services over Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP.

IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) networks. The Agilent N2X E7320B 40G card allows network equipment manufacturers and service providers to verify the scalability and resiliency of the highest rate line cards in terabit routers used for next-generation IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (multiprotocol label switching (networking) Multiprotocol Label Switching - (MPLS) A packet switching protocol developed by the IETF. Initially developed to improve switching speed, other benefits are now seen as being more important. ) core networks. As the need for next-generation IP services such as MPLS-based virtual private networks (VPNs), multicast, and voice over IP (VoIP) continues to increase, the need for high-bandwidth capacity and scalability of devices in carrier networks is paramount. The next-generation 40G devices facilitate the scalability and resiliency requirements needed to deliver these revenue-generating services. The Agilent N2X 40G test solution helps service providers and network equipment manufacturers accelerate the development and deployment of multiterabit networks and devices. The breadth of protocol coverage and the multiprotocol environment of the Agilent N2X are unique to the market in verifying the scalability and performance of revenue-generating services such as MPLS VPNs MPLS VPN is a family of methods for harnessing the power of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to create Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). MPLS is well suited to the task as it provides traffic isolation and differentiation without substantial overhead. and multicast at 40 Gb/s. "The advent of converged packet infrastructures requires next-generation advanced routing systems such as the Cisco CRS-1. Independent test tools such as Agilent's N2X are key in verifying line-rate traffic and scalable protocol performance," said Dan Lenoski, vice president of engineering at Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here.

(NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. , Inc. "This demonstration illustrates that 40 gigabits per second over a single OC-768c router interface is a reality. This very high-speed interface enables carriers to deliver high bandwidth voice, video and data services, and realize dramatic improvements in service flexibility and operational efficiency." "Agilent is proud to continue our record of first to market with the leading-edge router test solutions," said Dave Bass, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Data Networks Division. "The N2X OC-768c test card allows our customers to test IP/MPLS performance at the highest line rates offered on the market."
