The R-PHY System Scaling Tools are designed to simulate thousands of R-PHY devices and cable modems simultaneously to simulate control plane traffic with Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) and cable network services to identify bottlenecks that could impact customer service while in production.
Avoids physical device procurement,
connectivity, provisioning lab space,
network wiring and configuration,
power, cooling, and physical security
Thousands of virtual R-PHY devices
and cable modems can be launched
from a single server to simulate
control plane traffic with network
devices and cable management
software
Validated with integrated and virtual
CMTS from leading providers
Virtual RPDs and CMs support real-time, two-way communication with CMTSs and comply with CableLabs standard
Aggregates metrics from simulated
devices, enabling data analysis within modern observability platforms
Simulate physical Remote PHY devices to test the capacity and performance of CMTS, PTP, ToD, and DHCP services to identify bottlenecks that could impact customer service delivery in production
Mimic cable modem functionality to test control and data plane of CMTS along with cable network services, to pinpoint bottlenecks that could impact customer service in production environments
Enables scaling and management of virtual RPD and CM simulators on a large scale, simplifying testing procedures
Gathers metrics and workflow traces from simulated devices to accelerate root cause analysis on modern visualization tools
Virtual R-PHY devices support real-time,
bi-directional communication simultaneously
with multiple service cores over the GCP and L2TPv3 protocols. They seamlessly interact with critical network services such as DHCP, Time-of-Day and PTP servers.
They adhere to CableLabs, IEEE and IETF specifications, and have been validated with physical CCAP devices and vCMTS instances from leading vendors.
Simulates the control plane interaction between thousands of DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0 cable modems and DOCSIS service cores, and network services such as DHCP, ToD, TFTP, and SNMP servers. This enables rapid and cost-effective validation of DOCSIS service core compatibility, operation and performance, and network policies such as IP address and bandwidth allocation.
Simultaneously, the need to procure, connect, power, maintain, and secure hundreds or thousands of physical cable modems can be significantly reduced.
