UHD400T Ultra-high Density Network Infrastructure Test System

Keysight's UHD400T solution is a white-box switch based 400GE traffic generator that is built from the ground up. It offers the industry's first hardware test platform that opens itself up to disaggregate its control plane services from its data plane service.

Highlights

Problem:

  • Issues due to current monolithic designs of network equipment:
    • Performance limitations at scale bound by hardware
    • Lack of customization to meet customer specific needs
  • Issues due to vendor proprietary APIs:
    • Additional development work to build the same set of tests each time for every new traffic appliance
    • Need of collaboration between teams in open networking world​
  • Issues due to portability of test between different form factors:​
    • Testing is integral part of CI/CD; developers need simulation/emulation​
    • Same test needs to run on hardware at line rate in system test bed​

Solution:

  • Composable architecture:
    • Flexibility and cost effective: offload and scale out control plane services on general compute
    • Open solution enables possibility to custom-built to need
  • Open API design:
    • Model first approach by using open traffic generator​
    • Built for open-source communities
  • Portability of tests from SW to HW
    • Test port abstraction using common UX and portable software licensing​
    • Write once and run anywhere
