Anritsu the market leader
Anritsu maintains its market leaderships in many ways which includes involvement on
standardization committees which are shaping the way networks are being tested to
ensure network quality is maintained.
Anritsu has been actively involved in defining this new ITU-T Y.1564 standard as we
believe it will become a requirement for testing future Ethernet networks.
We have also implemented this new standard on our Network Master GigE product.

What is ITU-T Y.1564?
ITU-T Y.1564 is a new methodology to test multiple Ethernet services simultaneously in a network.
Currently RFC 2544 is the most commonly used testing standard for Ethernet network activation.
Originally designed for checking performance characteristics of a network device (for which it is
ideally suited), RFC 2544 runs with only one service at a time so it tests in a serial manner for
activating multiple services and never runs all services at the same time.
The ITU-T Y.1564 completes the testing in two phases:
- Service Configuration Test is used to confirm each individual service is configured correctly
throughout the network at the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and others rates as
required.
o This phase of the test is completed very quickly.
- Service Performance Test transmits one or many Service Configuration Tests
simultaneously at the CIR confirming all traffic is able to transverse the network under the
full service load.
o This phase of the test timing is completed as per the ITU-T M.2110 standard or user
settings.
With this tw
o phase testing methodology the total testing time can be reduced as all CIR’s are
being tested over a longer duration simultaneously, the timing is also reduce by completing the
Information Rate (IR), Frame Delay Variation (FDV), Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) and Availability
(AVAIL) simultaneously.
