Testing Ethernet Data Integrity with Bit Error Ratio and Frame Error Ratio

Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Frame Error Ratio (FER) are crucial metrics for evaluating the data integrity in Ethernet-based communication links or systems, whether in Enterprise Data Centers, Automotive In-Vehicle Networks, or Industrial Networking.
July 11, 2024

By monitoring and optimizing Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Frame Error Ratio (FER), network engineers and system designers can ensure robust, reliable data transmission in diverse applications, from high-speed corporate networks, automotive in-vehicle networks, to mission-critical aerospace and industrial control systems.

This white paper explores various aspects of BER and FER testing, including:

  • How to perform BER testing over a frame-based transmission link, such as Ethernet
  • The recommended duration for BER performance testing
  • Key considerations when conducting BER and FER tests
