The GPON Xpert multi-layer analyzer is a unique protocol analyzer for G-PON products. GPON Xpert is a modular tool designed for R&D, laboratory and field application engineers engaged in the development, testing and deployment of G-PON standard-compliant solutions. GPON Xpert verifies the interoperability of G-PON products offered by different vendors, and indicates compliance of any combination of OLT and ONT/ONU modems to the G-PON standard.
Complete Analysis of the 10G-EPON and OAM Protocols
Neutral Unbiased Testing Tool – No PON Chipset
Multi-Layer Analysis Including MPCPDUs, OAM PDUs and Data PDUs
Intuitive User Interface, Variety of Exporting and Reporting Options
The 10G-EPON Xpert is a unique, non-intrusive multi-layer protocol analyzer for 10G-EPON networks and products. It tests and compares the functionality of OLTs and ONUs and verifies the standard compliance and interoperability of 10G-EPON products from different vendors. It is a powerful tool for telecom operators, MSOs and equipment vendors, as well as for technology and chipset companies.
Specifically designed for R&D, laboratory and field application engineers, the 10G-EPON Xpert is a neutral, unbiased testing tool that helps telecom operators, MSOs and vendors accelerate time-to-market by cutting significant time from development, deployment and troubleshooting of 10G-EPON solutions.
As an independent and unbiased testing platform, the 10G-EPON Xpert is built without using any PON chipset. Using its unique multi-layer probing capability, it lays out a comprehensive picture of the protocols and traffic running line. It analyzes and displays the MPCPDUs and the OAM PDUs as well as the upper layers, including Ethernet, PPP, PPPoE, IPv4/IPv6, TCP, UDP, DHCP, IGMP, HTTP and RTP.

It analyzes and displays the MPCPDUs and the OAM PDUs as well as the upper layers, including Ethernet, PPP, PPPoE, IPv4/IPv6, TCP, UDP, DHCP, IGMP and HTTP.
The 10G-EPON Xpert connects to the fiber between the OLT and the ONUs, either at the OLT side or the ONU side and monitors the message exchange on the PON.
The 10G-EPON Xpert automatically detects and lays out a comprehensive picture of the PON topology. It displays it in an intuitive tree format, which includes the ONUs, the Multicast LLID, the MPCPDUs, OAM PDUs and Data PDUs and the upper layer protocols .
Every node on the tree is color-coded to indicate expected or abnormal behaviors (events) with customizable severity levels . The topology tree allows direct navigation from any node on the tree to the relevant messages and events. Navigation is also available through the protocol stack from any protocol layer to the protocols above and below it.
The PDUs can be viewed as a single unified list, or as separate lists according to the PDU types. Extensive searching and filtering options allow zooming in and focusing on the exact types of messages or issues that the user is interested in.
The 10G-EPON Xpert analyzer captures the optical signals from the PON and provides comprehensive analysis of the 10G-EPON layer, including errors and statistics, indications about optical signal loss, the number of MAPs and the number of PDUs of various types in a given time period .
By further analyzing the signals, it identifies and displays the gates and the corresponding upstream bursts. From there it proceeds and displays the messages and their contents, and simultaneously presents the message exchange in both the downstream and upstream directions, as well as the relations between the two.
The 10G-EPON Xpert features a rich array of intuitive displays, graphs and tables for testing and troubleshooting of the 10G-EPON OLTs and ONUs. The displayed information includes downstream and upstream messages, procedures view, connectivity configuration diagrams, statistics and more.
The 10G-EPON Xpert clearly indicates abnormal behaviors and deviations from the relevant standards, thus verifying standard compliance and interoperability between different vendors' OLTs and ONUs.
Ensuring proper operation of the 10G-EPON network elements enables equipment manufacturers and chipset vendors to build high-quality products and shorten time to-market. It also provides flexibility to operators and MSOs in providing reliable high bandwidth services to their customers .

The 10G-EPON Xpert is available as a stand-alone product, or in combination with TraceSpan’s NG-PON Xpert, to allow the capture and analysis of the XG-PON, XGS-PON and/or NG-PON2 protocols using the same hardware platform.
The 10G-EPON Xpert supports the generation of detailed analysis reports in a user friendly HTML format. Selected information can also be exported for further analysis in various formats, such as PCAP and XML.
The 10G-EPON Xpert includes a Command Line Interface (CLI), enabling its integration into automated test environments. The built-in Command Line Wizard application eases the generation of CLI command for various test scenarios, thus speeding up the testing process, saving time and labor and minimizing human errors.
