TWAMP Helps Ensure QoS and QoE for IP Service Level Agreements
Burlingame, Calif., - Shenick Network Systems, provider of per-flow
IP communication test and monitoring systems, announced that it is
the first and only vendor to offer complete two way active
measurement protocol (TWAMP) measurement and testing capability as
standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in
RFC5357. Multiple service providers and equipment vendors are using
Shenicks diversifEye to verify, in real-time, the TWAMP
functionality and performance of TWAMP enabled network elements and
management servers. |

The TWAMP protocol defines a flexible method
for measuring round-trip IP performance among any two devices in a
network that supports the standard, such as measuring time delay on
a call. With TWAMP, service providers and equipment vendors can
identify the congested parts of a network and confidently develop IP
service level agreements (SLAs). Shenicks complete TWAMP
capabilities give equipment vendors the tools to verify the
functionality of their TWAMP implementations prior to customer
acceptance testing. For service providers, Shenicks TWAMP
capabilities provide a means for conducting vendor interoperability
and large scale system testing prior to TWAMP network deployment
Olga Yashkova, communication test sector analyst, Frost & Sullivan
commented "With TWAMP, Shenick offers telecom operators and
networking providers not only a means for identifying network
congestion, but also for testing enhancements to IP SLA's across the
industry. It leads to greater efficiencies across the networking and
IP services market, a lower cost and greater ease of use by avoiding
multiple test systems and non integrated software applications."
Shenick is the first vendor to offer the
benefits of complete TWAMP test to the market. We already work with
the industrys leading telecom operators, and network equipment
manufacturers to help them test, in real time, the performance of
each network link for thousands of individual network nodes. (See
release: Shenick Extends the Power of Full TWAMP Compliance Testing
to Ciena). said Robert Winters, chief marketing officer, Shenick
Network Systems. The benefit with TWAMP is that we now have an
industry-wide IP SLA standard that means we can check the pulse of
every part of a network. The real winner is the end user who gets a
great quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for
everything from using the Internet, to downloading video or making
voice calls across the Web.
TWAMP enables carriers to test each node in a network for ultimate
end user QoS, giving networks a health check. Shenicks diversifEye
is a completely integrated high performance test system that
provides both network operators and communications equipment
manufacturers with the ability to create and test the most realistic
converged IP application usage scenarios covering QoS, individual
subscriber experience, functional verification, high load and key
performance limitations. For more information on testing TWAMP see
