Announcing STC v5.53 Release

Spirent is excited to announce the availability of Spirent TestCenter (STC) v5.53. STC is an end-to-end test and validation solution delivering high performance, massive scale, and advanced statistics for Cloud to 800Gbps.
This release introduces significant enhancements to PPPoL2TP traffic support, Routing capabilities, and Collective Communications Library (CCL) traffic emulation, in addition to critical issue resolution.

 
 
Release Spirent TestCenter v5.53
Key New Features Access:
  • PPPoL2TP Traffic Supports Multiple LACs
    • STC emulates PPPoE clients and L2TP Network Server (LNS) connecting with multiple L2TP Access Concentrators (LAC). Once PPPoE over L2TP services are established, bidirectional traffic between PPPoE clients and the LNS will be accurately routed to the appropriate LAC.
Enhancement:
  • Support for FEC error histogram on B2/B3 8*100G default mode
    • Spirent TestCenter IQ now supports FEC error histogram in Layer 1 results for 8x100G mode
Routing:
  • EVPN Type 4 Supports SRv6 Data Plane Encapsulation  
    • For BGP Routes configuration, SRv6 Data Plane Encapsulation can be configured for EVPN Type 4 if BGP SR is enabled
  • Remove LSP Command in PCE Received LSP Results  
    • Added “Send Remove LSP” in the PCE LSP results. PCE will send an Initiate message to delete the LSP by this command
  • Delete Existing Stream Blocks after BGP Import Route Table
    • Stream blocks associated with a BGP device will be automatically removed after completing the BGP Route Table Import wizard. This feature is particularly helpful for Automation testing.
AI Datacenter - CCL:
  • CCL Send Out Traffic Synchronously  
    • In CCL Traffic Emulation wizard, users can now choose to send out the traffic synchronously or asynchronously for improved traffic creation control.
  • CCL JCT Support L1 Results
    • In addition to providing bandwidth test results at the payload layer, this feature adds L1 bandwidth test results for easy comparison with maximum port speed improving test analysis.
  • CCL Halving and Doubling Traffic Pattern
    • Add a new traffic pattern: Halving and Doubling. The number of ports in each communicator must be 2 to the power of n, expanding STC’s AI Datacenter traffic scenario capability.
  • CCL Support Random Reduce Time
    • For RingAllReduce and Halving and Doubling traffic patterns, Reduce Time can be randomized for each step and port. For more comprehensive tests users can define the range of Reduce Time and preview the values by clicking “Preview Reduce Times”.
