Calnex Paragon-X
The Calnex Paragon-X provides testing gPTP (generic Precision Time Protocol) also known as IEEE 802.1AS. The Paragon-X:
- Provides one-box testing for gPTP-defined Time-Aware systems – End Stations and Relays(Bridges).
- Allows complete testing of gPTP Correction Field, Neighbor Rate ratio and CSRO (Cumulative Scaled Rate Offset).
- Can use integrated packet impairments to verify gPTP performance in the presence of network impairments such as delay, PDV or dropped packets.
- In addition to detailed gPTP/802.1AS testing, the Paragon-X also supports the following profiles: IEEE1588-2008, G.8265.1 (Frequency), G.8275.1 (Phase), C37.238-2011 (Power), and Customer-defined profiles.
- Contact Calnex for additional information
The Paragon-X is also available for use by UNH-IOL IEEE 1588/PTP Test Service Members

IxNetwork
Avnu Certification testing at UNH-IOL has been further enhanced with the support of Ixia and their AVB capable solutions. Specifically, the NOVUS 10/1 5-Speed Ethernet Load Module. Customers with this module, or compatible modules (eg: the older 3-Speed ELM) can make use of Violett Automation for shaper testing, if properly licensed.
