• LAN-3101A SmartMetrics 6-port 10/100 Mbps full/half duplex module
Card Type: SmartMetrics Ethernet 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX (RJ-45).
Where Used: SMB-600 and SMB-6000B: LAN-3101A module.
Applications
Supported:
SmartWindow, SmartLib, SmartApplications, SmartFlow, SmartVoIPQoS, SmartTCP,
SmartxDSL, SmartCableModemTest, SmartMulticastIP, AST II.
Devices Tested: Layer 2, 3, and 4 devices and end-to-end systems.
Test Objective: A stream-based traffic generator to perform frame loss, stream latency, and sequence
tracking tests on systems ranging from a single device under test to a complex routed
network; to perform the following testing:
• Performance measurement and interoperability testing.
• Network-wide Network Layer QoS analysis using IP Precedence Bit.
• Tests compliance to RFCs.
Features: • High port density.
• Full wire-rate traffic generation and analysis.
• Data integrity checking – allows verification of payload data through the DUT.
