Spirent Communications has announced that Spirent, China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute and Huawei worked hand in hand to complete the functionality and performance verification of FlexE under MAN and 5G scenarios.
FlexE technologies are receiving a lot of attention as high-end applications, such as high-definition video and high-frequency transactions, are putting an increased demand on the Quality of Service (QoS), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) scenarios of the 5G network.
This groundbreaking test has been conducted at China Telecom's Network and Terminal Lab, utilizing Huawei routers and Spirent’s Flex Ethernet test solution as part of the test bed, connected via 100G BASE-LR4 links. Configure in both 100GbE and 100G FlexE modes, the Spirent FlexE Test Module helps generate line‑rate traffic to verify hard isolation characteristics of a leased line based on FlexE, testing both the forwarding performance of the FlexE channel itself, as well as the performance between FlexE and Ethernet.
Test results indicated that these industry-leading routers are capable of achieving network slicing FlexE technology to meet the networking requirements from financial or government high-value, exclusive line scenarios to provide the preliminary network foundation for 5G mMTC and uRLLC applications.
Zhu Yongqing, China Telecom Research Institute Head of IP Technology Research, says, "FlexE technologies have attracted widespread attention since their introduction. Operators, network equipment manufacturers, and chip suppliers are developing FlexE technology-enabled products, and exploring and expanding their applications in various scenarios. Guangzhou Research Institute together with Huawei and Spirent has jointly completed the verification of FlexE in MAN and 5G scenarios, with test results reaching our expectations."
Spirent General Manager of Cloud and IP Abhitesh Kastuar adds, “This joint test by China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute, Huawei, and Spirent lays the foundation for the maturity of FlexE technology and ecosystem, promotes FlexE applications in MAN and 5G networks, and helps accelerate the commercialization of FlexE technology. Spirent is a pioneer in providing innovative test solutions for new technologies such as PAM4, 50GbE, 100GbE, 200GbE, 400GbE, and FlexE, and we will continue to invest in new technologies to support the development of the 5G network."
