Redback Verifies SMS Platform with Spirent's PPPoX Emulation Test Suite

Redback Networks has validated the throughput and scalability of its SMS 10000 SL subscriber management system using Spirent Communications' PPPoX Emulation Test Suite. In one of the largest tests of its kind, Redback used Spirent's PPP over ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet over ATM (PPPoEoA) applications to verify the SMS 10000 SL platform's high throughput performance of 100 Kbps per subscriber for large numbers of subscribers. Tests conducted for a large European PTT also demonstrated that the SMS 10000 SL platform is capable of high scalability for Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) and can be used to create wholesale DSL networks that scale up to many thousands of subscriber sessions. Spirent also announced that its PPPoX test suite has been enhanced to include support for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
