Smart SFP supports MACsec, providing wire-speed encryption at 10 Gbps line rate. MACsec is implemented inside the Smart SFP module, it works with any switch or router equipped with SFP+ slot, allowing you to add Layer 2 encryption without upgrading your existing network hardware.

Zabbix and Smart SFP OTDR. Monitor active and dark fibers, regardless of switch/router vendors and link speed (1G to 400G). With GIS visualization, it provides visibility of your entire fiber network, making it easier to locate, monitor, and troubleshoot fiber assets in real time

This week we had a chance to validate our Smart SFP OTDR Slot Adapter in a live customer environment.
With Slot Adapter, Smart SFP OTDR can operate together with transceiver in the same slot - making fiber monitoring easier to deploy in real networks.

To make something small, we start with something big.
We’re actively working on Smart SFP for 100G, and our current setup uses Alveo FPGA PCIe card (2×100G) to validate the architecture, firmware, and data-path before shrinking everything down into the QSFP28 form factor.

Smart SFP with ERSPAN and Wireshark - powerful combo for packet analysis
Enables seamless packet mirroring, sending traffic to your favorite analysis tools like Wireshark in real time.
Gain deep insights into network behavior without SPAN ports, taps, or downtime.

Single or dual, dark or light or CWDM, 1G or 400G — our Smart SFP OTDR works across all optical network types.
To make choice fast and simple, we’ve created Fiber Monitoring Use Case document that guide you to the right setup.
Ping us if you’d like to get it.

We’re big fans of both SFP and Raspberry Pi — even more so when they come together.
When SFP meets Raspberry Pi, good projects happen.

Happy New Year!
We're looking forward to another 365-day journey around the Sun. It's going to be exciting. Stay tuned!

Smart SFP for active monitoring using TWAMP
- Acts as Sender, Responder or both
- HW-accelerated for line-rate and sub-microsecond accuracy
- Multi-flow and multi-tenant operation
- Use the built-in or install your preferred implementation
- All you need is a free SFP slot

Smart SFP Loopback is compatible with any Ethernet tester — install it at remote sites to simplify Service Activation Testing (Y.1564) and Benchmarking (RFC 2544).
Ping us to discover smart field and lab testing.

[Plumspace @plumspacecom]

Two ways to install. Smart SFP Loopback supports in-line and out-of-line modes for Service Activation Testing (Y.1564, RFC 2544).

We recently added the ability to offload the timestamp insertion function to any 3rd party application running on our Smart SFP.
It significantly improves accuracy. Here are test results from a simple testbed in our lab.
