Spirent can help you address this challenge with Spirent TestCenter with its innovative Inspire Architecture™. Now you can create and execute more complex test cases in less time with the same resources—and scale tests higher while debugging problems faster. The results: lower CAPEX and OPEX, faster time to market, greater market share and higher profitability.
The PPPoX Base Package enables service providers and network equipment manufacturers to quickly validate subscriber scalability. This integrated Spirent TestCenter component simplifies large-scale test configurations to identify issues involving equipment selection, setting competitive service level agreements and planning growth with confidence.
Service providers use the PPPoX Base Package to determine the correct amount of equipment necessary for their customers’ needs— avoiding over- and under-deployment. PPPoX is the most widely deployed authentication protocol for broadband subscriber authentication. Stability and performance of PPPoX is critical to many service providers’ IPTV and data services.
The Spirent TestCenter PPPoX Base Package helps service providers and network equipment manufacturers validate performance and functionality of access servers and relay agents.
| Key Features |

| Analyze and chart detailed results in real time, or export to HTML or PDF |
| PPPoX server mode to test access concentrators and relay agents |
| Use IP multicast for enhanced realism |
| IPCPv4 and IPCPv6 simultaneous on same port |
| Auto retry failed or disconnected sessions |

| Benefits |
|
| Increased Testing Capacity | With the highest port density and subscriber per port emulation, the PPPoX base package can accomplish more in less lab space |
| Reduced Test Time | The Command Sequencer sets up flapping tests quickly and easily to validate system performance in realistic unstable environments rather than an environment optimized for pure performance.
Many device faults, such as memory leaks in control processors and poor login time, will only be visible under dynamic testing conditions.
|
| Detailed Analysis | Data plane analysis down to the subscriber, service and stream.
This is essential in quickly identifying and resolving intermittent performance issues that occur in only a small number of subscribers when supporting thousands of subscribers.
