Ixia will conduct the first public demonstration of its test system running 400GbE with RS-544 Forward Error Correction (FEC) at this week’s Interop Tokyo 2016.
RS-544 FEC is a digital signal processing technique used to enhance data reliability. It does this by introducing error correcting code that is calculated prior to data transmission. The IEEE P802.3bs Task Force defines two FEC engines that are required for the electrical interface that supports 400GbE.
