Abstract
Varied system architectures, strong competition, and a weak marketplace have made the process of Gbit/s component evaluation and verification far more complicated than simply making accurate measurements. While compliance to industry standards is essential, cost is becoming increasingly important, with test being a significant portion of overall cost. This paper compares and contrasts Ethernet and SONET/SDH test strategies for 10 Gbit/s transmission, and takes a forward look to 40 Gbit/s devices.
