加州SANTA CLARA市5月23日新聞 安捷倫科技和自動化通信測試軟件開發(fā)商N(yùn)et-O2今天宣布Net-O2公司的ATTEST連通錯誤管理（CFM）協(xié)議一致性測試組件與安捷倫的N2X多服務(wù)測試方案集成。網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備生產(chǎn)商和服務(wù)供應(yīng)商可以運(yùn)用N2X確保其運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)轉(zhuǎn)換器和執(zhí)行CFM協(xié)議機(jī)制的路由器符合相關(guān)IEEE和ITU標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，實現(xiàn)了堅固而成熟的以太網(wǎng)基礎(chǔ)架構(gòu)語音，視頻和數(shù)據(jù)服務(wù)的穩(wěn)定性。 CFM目前根據(jù)IEEE 802.1ag標(biāo)準(zhǔn)8.0草案規(guī)定提供端到端運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)診斷功能，該功能允許服務(wù)供應(yīng)商快速檢測和定位故障，確保延遲敏感三合一服務(wù)的穩(wěn)定傳輸。IEEE CFM協(xié)議機(jī)制與ITU-T Y.1731標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的非常相似。這兩種非常有影響力的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之間的精調(diào)證明了CFM對于工業(yè)的實用性。安捷倫N2X測試組件位工業(yè)提供了首個用于確認(rèn)CFM標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一致性的解決方案。 “轉(zhuǎn)換器和路由器產(chǎn)品開發(fā)環(huán)節(jié)早期的一致性測試是多廠商網(wǎng)絡(luò)間的互用性成功的先決條件，” 安捷倫公司數(shù)據(jù)網(wǎng)絡(luò)運(yùn)營部業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)理Rod Unverich說，“無論是發(fā)展標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，還是發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤修理，每家廠商一直都加緊執(zhí)行他們的協(xié)議，因此，每個產(chǎn)品推出都要進(jìn)行強(qiáng)制性回歸測試以保證與其服務(wù)供應(yīng)商客戶的審計和可追蹤的一致性。” “我們看到行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的測試廠商在關(guān)鍵技術(shù)，如CFM上提供一致性測試組件越快，服務(wù)供應(yīng)商就越有信心開發(fā)這些技術(shù)?！背怯蛞蕴W(wǎng)論壇指定認(rèn)證測試實驗室Iometrix的首席執(zhí)行官，運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)行業(yè)杰出人物Bob Mandeville說，“以太網(wǎng)缺乏端到端OAM是廣泛采用運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)最后的障礙之一。因此，用于核實廠商協(xié)議一致性的可以進(jìn)行CFM測試的設(shè)備一定會提高經(jīng)營者在選擇關(guān)鍵設(shè)備過程中的信心，還將確保雄辯的行業(yè)分析家預(yù)言的運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)一定會實現(xiàn)。” “ATTEST CFM一致性測試組件目前正在Net-O2的客戶實驗室進(jìn)行測試第二版實驗，” Net-O2 科技公司西工工程部副總裁Manikantan Srinivasan說，“ATTEST CFM提供了約150項測試案例，這些測試案例旨在驗正服務(wù)供應(yīng)商網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備和客戶端設(shè)備中的CFM協(xié)議和管理支持的要求。一旦CFM符合802.1ag標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，這些早期使用CFM的廠商就可以確保網(wǎng)絡(luò)間的無縫互用性。” 通過將ATTEST CFM協(xié)議測試組件的魯棒性完整性與N2X一致性測試管理生產(chǎn)力效益相結(jié)合，N2X CFM一致性測試組件對安捷倫和Net-O2的長期協(xié)作具有影響力。CFM一致性測試組件是N2X方案中的多種運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)一致性組件的最新版組件，該組件包括STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, VLAN, 802.1x, MEF 9以及MEF 14。 為了幫助廠商和服務(wù)供應(yīng)商參與并克服運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)的挑戰(zhàn)，安捷倫將在2007年6月7日舉辦一場免費(fèi)在線教育研討會 ”確保IPTV和業(yè)務(wù)服務(wù)的運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)魯棒性”。參與者將探討在開發(fā)和部署周期各階段，測試如何降低展開運(yùn)營級以太網(wǎng)服務(wù)和基礎(chǔ)架構(gòu)中的風(fēng)險和成本。注冊請登錄網(wǎng)站：www.lightreading.com/webinars.asp. 美國價格和訂購 安捷倫N2X多服務(wù)測試方案起價$28,000，登錄網(wǎng)站：www.agilent.com/find/n2x查詢更多CFM一致性組件產(chǎn)品信息。 有關(guān)Net-O2 Net-O2是一家創(chuàng)新的通信測試公司，致力于幫助客戶大大降低測試時間，加快產(chǎn)品上市時間，Net-O2供應(yīng)多種自動化測試組件用于IP協(xié)議，第二層協(xié)議和相關(guān)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，查詢Net-O2公司相關(guān)信息登錄網(wǎng)站: www.net-o2.com. 關(guān)于安捷倫科技 安捷倫科技公司（NYSE：A）是全球領(lǐng)先的測量公司，同時也是通信、電子,生命科學(xué)和化學(xué)分析領(lǐng)域的技術(shù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。公司擁有19000名員工，遍及全球110多個國家，為客戶提供卓越服務(wù)。在2006年財政年度，安捷倫的凈收入達(dá)到50億美元。如欲了解關(guān)于安捷倫的詳細(xì)信息，請登錄網(wǎng)站www.agilent.com。 original text： [COLOR=#708090]Agilent Technologies and Net-O2 Announce World‘s First CFM Test Suite that Enhances Carrier Ethernet Reliability New N2X Connectivity Fault Management Conformance Test Suite Ensures Robustness of Triple Play Infrastructure and Services SANTA CLARA, Calif., and CHENNAI, India, May 23, 2007 Agilent Technologies Inc. （NYSE: A） and Net-O2, a developer of automated communications testing software, today announced Net-O2‘s integration of its ATTEST Connectivity Fault Management （CFM） protocol conformance test suite into Agilent‘s N2X multiservices test solution. Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can use N2X to ensure their Carrier Ethernet switches and routers implementing the CFM mechanisms conform to the relevant IEEE and ITU-T standards, enabling the reliability of voice, video and data services over a robust and proven Ethernet infrastructure. Defined currently in IEEE 802.1ag draft 8.0, CFM provides end-to-end Carrier Ethernet diagnostic capabilities that allow service providers to rapidly detect and locate faults, ensuring the reliable delivery of delay-sensitive triple play services. The IEEE CFM mechanisms are very similar to those in the ITU-T Y.1731 standard. The tight alignment between these two influential standards bodies attests to the relevance of CFM to the industry. The Agilent N2X CFM test suite provides the industry‘s first solution for validating CFM standards compliance. "Conformance testing early in the switch-and-router product development cycle is a prerequisite to successful interoperability in multi-vendor networks," said Rod Unverich, business manager of Agilent‘s Data Networks Operation Division. "Every vendor constantly ‘tweaks‘ their protocol implementations, either as the standards evolve or simply as bugs are discovered and fixed over time. Therefore, ongoing regression testing for each release is mandatory to claim auditable and traceable compliance to their service-provider customers." "The sooner we see industry-leading test vendors offering conformance test suites on key enabling technologies like CFM, the more confident service providers will be to deploy these technologies," said Carrier Ethernet industry luminary Bob Mandeville, CEO of Iometrix, the appointed Certification Test Laboratory for the Metro Ethernet Forum. "Lack of end-to-end OAM for Ethernet was one of the final barriers to the wide-scale adoption of Carrier Ethernet. Consequently, CFM-capable test equipment utilized to verify vendor protocol compliance will certainly increase operator confidence levels in the crucial equipment selection process and will also ensure that the aggressive industry analyst predictions for Carrier Ethernet are indeed realized." "ATTEST CFM conformance suite is currently undergoing beta trials at Net-O2‘s customer labs," said Manikantan Srinivasan, VP, systems engineering of Net-O2 Technologies. "ATTEST CFM provides around 150 test cases designed to verify the CFM protocols and the management support requirements in service provider networking devices as well as in customer edge devices. Early adaptors of CFM can ensure seamless interoperability once they comply with the emerging 802.1ag standard." The N2X CFM conformance suite leverages the longstanding collaboration between Agilent and Net-O2 by combining the robustness and completeness of the ATTEST CFM protocol test suite with the productivity benefits of the N2X conformance test manager. The CFM conformance suite is the latest in the comprehensive range of Carrier Ethernet conformance suites offered on N2X, which include STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, VLAN, 802.1x, MEF 9 and MEF 14. To help vendors and service providers anticipate and overcome Carrier Ethernet challenges, Agilent will host a free online educational seminar, "Ensuring Carrier Ethernet Robustness for IPTV and Business Services," on June 7, 2007. Attendees will discover how testing at all stages of the development and deployment cycle can reduce the risks and costs of rolling out Carrier Ethernet services and infrastructure. Registration will be available at www.lightreading.com/webinars.asp. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent N2X multiservices test solution is available at a starting price of $28,000.
