About IP testing
Using the HST-3000 with an Ethernet SIM, you can turn up
and troubleshoot IP services on point-to-point unswitched and
switched networks by verifying connectivity, measuring
throughput, and verifying that quality of service statistics
conform to those specified in a customer’s Service Level
Agreement.
If you purchased the IPv6 Traffic software option, applications
are provided that allow you to transmit and analyze either IPv4
or IPv6 traffic. Table 10 lists the key differences between the
applications:
