Viavi Solutions has introduced the Xgig Protocol Exerciser for the 5P16 Platform for protocol traffic validation and performance evaluation.
Together with the recently introduced Xgig 5P16 Analyzer — the first 16-lane protocol analysis system for PCIe 5.0 — the VIAVI Xgig Protocol Exerciser enables powerful real-time emulation, manipulation and analysis of PCIe 5.0 data traffic at all layers of the stack.
The VIAVI Xgig Protocol Exerciser enables in-depth protocol evaluation and debugging at 32Gbps per lane, as well as testing for PCIe compliance,allowing development of network technologies to meet the demands of tomorrow’s high-speed, high-performance computing applications. The Xgig Exerciser Solution includes a system chassis, test stand interposer for device under test (DUT) connectivity, and the exerciser license key. With a modular architecture and an implementation tightly coupled to a full-featured analysis system, the Xgig Protocol Exerciser reduces the need for extra hardware investments, while a familiar Xgig management interface helps limit training needs, minimizing overall design and development costs.
