Theory of Ethernet technology and testing
- History
- Datacom technology overview
- Ethernet (10Base-T, CSMA/CD, half-duplex, full-duplex)
- Fast Ethernet (100Base-T, auto-negotiation)
- Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T)
- EtherSAM
- Predefined Ethernet frame sizes (RFC 2544)
- Throughput, burstability, frame loss and latency (RFC 2544)
- RFC 3393 (jitter)
- RFC 791 (internet protocol v.4) and RFC 2475 (service differentiation)
- Error performance-monitoring system (EPMS − G.821 and G.826)
- Virtual local-area networks (VLANs)
- IEEE 802.1 Q/p and IEEE 802.1 Q-in-Q
- Service-disruption measurements
- Bit error rate (BER) testing
- Multistream generation application
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet protocol
- LAN and WAN PHY
Ethernet testing applications
- Ethernet networks − what to test and how to test them
- Performance analysis (RFC 2544)
- BER testing (layer 1 and layer 2)
- Dual test sets/Smart loopback
- Frame analysis
- TCP throughput
- Expert mode
- Scripting
