The EXFO ETS-1000 Ethernet Analyzer is a dual-port, portable instrument for installation, turn-up, and troubleshooting of Carrier Ethernet services across metro networks. It delivers traffic generation, RFC 2544 performance testing, bit-error-rate testing (BERT), and packet jitter analysis in a single platform. Field technicians and network engineers deploy it across business, mobile backhaul, and wholesale Ethernet applications.

## Key Features
**RFC 2544 Testing**
Throughput, back-to-back, frame loss, and latency measurements using RFC-defined or user-configurable frame sizes. Supports remote loopback and asymmetrical testing modes.
**Multistream Traffic Generation & Analysis**
Up to 10 simultaneous traffic streams with Layer 4 generation capability. QoS verification via VLAN and TOS/DSCP prioritization. Per-stream KPI measurement: throughput, latency, frame loss.
**EtherBERT Testing**
Bit-error-rate testing at 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s. BERT operates Layer 1 through Layer 4 with optional VLAN and MPLS.
## Typical Applications
Metro Ethernet service installation and validation, carrier circuit turn-up, network troubleshooting, mobile backhaul performance verification, wholesale Ethernet QoS assessment.
