What are analysts saying about the adoption of 25GbE? What are the benefits of migrating to 25GbE? What are the benefits of testing? Download this eBook to learn more about where the industry is headed for 25GbE and beyond to 50GbE.

5 Drivers x 5 Facts about 25GbE Testing

Coming soon to a network near you: 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE). With the standards already in place, network operators are clamoring over the opportunity to add high-density network processing into their fiber and equipment racks—and for enabling massive throughput through a single switch.


White paper discusses challenges and opportunities of transitioning to 400G and how testing is the fundamental building block to delivering reliable, high-performing 400G systems.

Lower regression testing costs via software-based tool.

Virtualized Regression Testing

When work began on 200 Gbps and 400Gbps Ethernet in the IEEE’s 802.3bs study group five  years ago, multi-level modulation was viewed as a potential substitute at high speeds for the widely used and well-characterized Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) modulation, common at both 10Gbps and 25Gbps. By 2015, however, the IEEE had mandated the use of four-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) for all single-lane serdes channels of 56Gbps and higher . These lanes are used for both 50 Gigabit Ethernet in its native format, and for lane aggregation in 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 200 Gigabit Ethernet, and 400 Gigabit Ethernet.
