The EXFO IQS-8510B Packet Blazer is an Ethernet/packet-layer test module developed for comprehensive performance verification of Metro and Carrier Ethernet networks. It is designed to test and validate Ethernet services at 10/100/1000 Mbps line rates, ensuring network compliance with SLAs and performance benchmarks.
The module enables bit error rate (BER) testing, RFC 2544 benchmarking, throughput, latency, and jitter analysis. It offers loopback and traffic generation features, as well as support for VLAN, Q-in-Q, and MPLS tagging. With dual test ports, users can perform simultaneous bidirectional testing for increased efficiency.
Integrated into the IQS platform, it enables centralized control and data capture. The EXFO IQS-8510B is particularly useful for network equipment manufacturers, service providers, and enterprise IT teams seeking detailed insight into Ethernet service quality.
