Testing Requirements for Solicitation HC101317QA885

MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

SPECIFIC FORMAT TO BE USED IS: LINE RATE: 2.488GB/ 20 PPM. LINE CODE: OPTIC FRAME FORMAT: SONET/STS-48C

1. TEST AND ACCEPTANCE:

FIBER OPTIC OC-48C CIRCUITS SHALL PASS A FULLY DOCUMENTED

SATISFACTORY 72 HOUR SOAK TEST BY DISA GOC AT SCOTT AFB, IL.;

PRIMARY: (C) 618-229-8691 (D) 779-8691;

2. TESTING PARAMETERS AND THRESHOLDS:

THE FOLLOWING TESTING PARAMETERS SHALL BE MEASURED DURING TEST

AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING. ERROR PERFORMANCE (AVAILABILITY, SES, DM,

EFS) AND LOSS OF BIT COUNT INTEGRITY SHALL BE MEASURED AND

RECORDED OVER THE DURATION OF THE CONTIGUOUS 72 HOUR TESTING

INTERVAL AND SHALL BE MEASURED AND RECORDED PER DEFINITION IN ITU

RECOMMENDATION G.826 AND M.2100.

3. ERROR PERFORMANCE:

ERROR PERFORMANCE SHALL BE BETTER THAN THE FOLLOWING PARAMETER

THRESHOLDS TO BE ACCEPTABLE: AVAILABILITY SHALL BE GREATER THAN

99.5% OR BETTER; SEVERELY ERRORED SECONDS (SES) SHALL BE LESS

THAN 0.02% DEGRADED MINUTES (DM) SHALL BE LESS THAN 0.2%; ERROR

FREE SECONDS (EFS) SHALL BE GREATER THAN 99%

4. LOSS OF BIT COUNT INTEGRITY (LBCI): LOSS OF

BIT COUNT INTEGRITY SHALL BE MONITORED ONLY BY THE FOLLOWING

METHOD: USING TEST EQUIPMENT WHICH CAN DETECT AND MEASURE THE

OCCURRENCE OF THE INSERTION OR DELETION OF ONE OR MORE BITS INTO

THE DIGITAL BIT STREAM, ON MANY MANUFACTURERS BERT TEST EQUIPMENT

THIS IS MONITORED USING THE "PATTERN SLIP" PARAMETER WHERE EVERY

OCCURRENCE OF A PATTERN SLIP "EVENT" MARKS THE OCCURRENCE OF A

LBCI (RATHER THAN THE RAW TOTAL NUMBER OF PATTERN SLIPS

ACCUMULATED OVER A TESTING INTERVAL)

5. MEAN TIME TO LOSS OF BIT COUNT INTEGRITY (MTTLBCI) SHALL BE

GREATER THAN 24 HOURS.

6. ROUND TRIP DELAY (RTD):

THE ROUND TRIP DELAY (RTD) FOR THIS DISA TRANSPORT TRUNK WILL BE

MEASURED IN MILLISECONDS FROM THE CUSTOMERS SERVICE DELIVERY

POINT (SDP) SITE-A TO THE CUSTOMERS SERVICE DELIVERY POINT

(SDP) SITE-Z. THE RTD SHALL BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 10

MILLISECONDS TO EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT'S MISSION. THE

GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ACCEPT A HIGHER RTD ONLY IF

SUPPORTED BY ACTUAL PHYSICAL FIBER DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO END

LOCATIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO

REJECT A PROPOSED PATH IF DEEMED EXCESSIVELY LONG WITHOUT WRITTEN

JUSTIFICATION IN THE PROPOSAL. JUSTIFICATION FOR EXCESSIVE

FIBER MILEAGE COULD BE DIVERSITY/AVOIDANCE REQUIREMENTS, LIMITED

INFRASTRUCTURE, AVAILABLE PROVIDERS, GEOGRAPHIC AND PHYSICAL

LIMITATION. THE GOVERNMENT ACCEPTING AUTHORITY WILL CONFIRM THE

RTD DURING THE TURN-UP AND TEST PHASE AND IF IT DOES NOT ALIGN

WITH THE CONTRACTORS PROPOSAL DISA IE161 WILL NOTIFY DITCO

IMMEDIATELY IN WRITING.
