MLX300 10GE Intelligent Loopback Device
Key Features
Product Description
• Cost-effective 10GE loopback device for testing end-to-end network performance when paired with companion tester • Ideal for testing transparent, switched, routed, and next generation carrier grade Ethernet networks • 10GE LAN/WAN XFP support • BERT, RFC2544 and Throughput application eliminating the need for an expensive remote test partner • Smart Loop mode for Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 • Out-of-band operation via 10/100Base-T Ethernet management port and ReVeal software • Activate a loopback profile from a remote location • Default loopback profile storage for fast and easy loopbackready boot-up • In-band control is supported for all VeEX Ethernet products; Compatible with MX300/TX300 and MX100+/MX120+ loopback control for end-to-end testing from the 10GE Core network to a 1GE drop on the Metro or Access network • RS232 supervisory port to configure IP address • Remote control capability and loopback profile creation/ upload through ReVeal PC software
VeEX™ MLX300 Metro Loopback Expert is an intelligent 10GE loopback device developed as a perfect companion to VeEX 10GE testers. Loopback control can be performed in-band over the fiber interface or via the built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet port via an Internet connection. Field interchangeable XFP transceivers support various wavelengths and power level requirements. Paired with the MX300/TX300 handheld tester, the MLX300 is the industry’s most cost-effective solution for point-to-point Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification and end-to-end performance testing.
Metro Expert
Loopback Modes • Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 modes are available for looping back test traffic • Layer 1: loops back all incoming traffic • Layer 2: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC source and destination addresses swapped • Layer 3: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC and IP source and destination addresses swapped • Layer 4: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC, IP, and UDP/TCP ports swapped
APPLICATIONS
Ethernet
Carrier Ethernet Distributed Testing When the MLX300 Intelligent Loopback device is used in conjunction with an MX300/TX300 test set, a complete end-to-end and distributed test solution becomes available 24/7/365. The MX300/TX300 generates Ethernet/IP test traffic to the MLX300, which will loopback the test traffic for analysis. This test scenario can be carried out for BERT, RFC2544, and Throughput test applications.

End-to-End Performance Testing Irrespective of Ethernet service being installed, it is always necessary to verify that the network can carry out and cope with the allocated bandwidth required by the customer. Service Level Agreements (SLA) thus compel service providers to measure network throughput and other performance characteristics to ensure that bandwidth associated with different service types conform to customer expectations.

The MLX300 helps provision and troubleshoot Carrier Ethernet. For long-term troubleshooting, the unit can be deployed at a remote site so that technicians can loopback test traffic without needing a second tester or another technician at the remote location. The MLX300 supports loopback statistics, which give the user visibility of throughput performance at the loopback far end.
