Part 1 of 2 - Fundamentals of Ethernet Technology Testing

  • January 9, 2017

Ng Chin Keong

Applications Engineer, EXFO

CK has experience working in the area of Mobile Front Haul and Optical Transport Networks.

He's been with EXFO for about 2 years. Prior to that he was a Global Service Engineer specialized in DWDM network integration at the Ericsson China and Malaysia.

He also worked as a Project Manager in the Bangkok for True Move, Thailand. 

High Speed Networks: SONET/SDH, OTN, WDM, 40/100/400G NEMs and Lab WDM/SONET/OTN transport testing

The surge in web-based, bandwidth-intensive applications has created new opportunities to deliver increasingly advanced services at higher speeds, alongside cutting-edge technologies. With its unmatched scalability and cost-effectiveness, Ethernet/IP has become the underlying technology of data communications and should be well understood by all players in the telecommunications industry.

This 2-part webinar series addresses the fundamentals of testing Ethernet technology, as well as the tools and standards required in effectively turning up and troubleshooting next-generation Ethernet services.

In this 2-part webinar series, we will delve deeper into the following topics:
Webinar #1: February 9, 2017
Title: Issuing a birth certificate before delivering Ethernet links.

  • Fundamentals of Ethernet technology
  • Physical aspects of data links
  • Bit Error Rate measurements
  • Are they good enough?
  • Service Activation Methodologies
  • RFC2544
  • ITU.T Y.1564
  • Subscriber Experience (TCP traffic evaluation through RFC 6349)
