VIAVI TestCenter: PX3-400G-QSFP-DD-8 Is capture possible on the breakout ports, when a 400G port is broken into multiple smaller speed ports?
Yes, capture is possible, here are some examples from a customer case requirement:
Memory for captures remains the same between 4.5MB-6.5MB approx. for all speeds capturing on multiple ports variation will depend on using signature and frame size. Frame count for captures will be of 32,768 at all speeds and frame length, except when using 64 as frame length, this will capture double 65,536 frames.
