FREMONT, Calif., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadband Forum today announced it will provide an open source USP Agent implementation as it continues to evolve its User Services Platform (USP) to facilitate tomorrow's Connected Home and accelerate interoperable Internet of Things (IoT) deployments.
Created as part of Broadband Forum's Open Broadband initiative, the Open Broadband – USP Agent (OB-USP-Agent) project will provide vendors with a code base that they can...
The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) has expanded its Non-Volatile-Memory-Express-over-Fabric (NVMe-oF) testing capabilities to include NVMe over TCP. Ratified in November 2018, the NVMe/TCP spec adds Transmission Control Protocol to the list of NVMe transport protocols, which previously included Fibre Channel, remote direct memory access (RDMA), and PCIe. “NVMe/TCP adds the most commonly used networking protocol to NVMe,” said David Woolf, senior engineer for data-center technologies at UNH-IOL, in a telephone interview with EE Times. “It will let...
Until a couple of years ago, the best way to test your storage hardware was by using a black box, but now there are more options. The new options are exclusively performed in software, courtesy of Calypso Systems, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), and maybe soon from the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Laboratory.
Load-testing software isn't new, but it generally works by running sample data through your network. In the Calypso system, released as a specification via...
DURHAM, N.H., March 13, 2019 – The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, today announced it has expanded testing capabilities for NVMe with the addition of a new NVMe™ over TCP (NVMe™/TCP) test services. The emergence of NVMe/TCP extends NVMe across the entire data center and utilizes simple and efficient TCP/IP fabric to provide high performance and reduced deployment costs.
NVMe/TCP is an important...
Fremont, California, 12 March 2019: The first five devices to have successfully completed Broadband Forum’s and the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory’s (UNH-IOL’s) new 212 MHz Gfast certification program were revealed today, representing an important landmark for operators looking to deliver enhanced gigabit services over copper.
Carried out by Broadband Forum’s approved Gfast test laboratory, the UNH-IOL, the certification demonstrates interoperability between 212 MHz Gfast products, indicating market readiness for multi-vendor deployment – a primary factor...
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) has announced the Power Profile Certification pilot programme.
Manufacturers of IoT and smart grid devices can make use of the pilot to test their products against the Test Suite Specification.
The Test Suite Specification was developed by UNH-IOL, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the IEEE 1588 Power Profile Conformity Assessment Steering Committee.
The UNH-IOL is the first test house authorised by IEEE to...
DURHAM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of comprehensive standards-based testing services for the networking industry, today announced the Power Profile Certification Pilot Program where device manufacturers can test their products against the Test Suite Specification (TSS) which was jointly developed with support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the IEEE 1588 Power Profile Conformity Assessment Steering Committee. This pilot is jointly offered by UNH-IOL and IEEE Conformity Assessment Program’s...
The snow had started to fall, and students were back and ready for spring semester. This could only mean one thing: It was hackathon time at the UNH InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL).
The challenge invites UNH students from all colleges and majors to collaborate on a project or problem domain, strategize an innovative solution and present it to judges, with this year’s theme of Hack New Hampshire (Hack NH) asking students to collaborate on solutions that would helpthe state become...
While Gfast updates won't actually help your dietary needs, they do push the service offerings into alignment with those of a fiber-only connection. From a service provider view, this simplifies operational processes, since providers need only maintain a single set of service profiles for their customers to purchase.
Put another way, it wouldn't matter if a customer has a fiber only connection or a fiber connection extended by a Gfast connection: The user experience is the same.
That's...
In 2008, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the initial IPv6 profile that launched the subsequent U.S Government (USGv6) test program. The USGv6 test program was referenced in Federal Acquisition Regulations for purchasing of IT equipment. The first major revision of the profile was recently released that updates the original profile.
In the 10 years between the profile releases, many advances have been made in areas of networking, particularly with IPv6. Presented here are some of...
