LAN Series Modules
SmartBits System Reference 107
• Stream-based, wire-rate traffic generation (up to 1,448,095 frames per second) and
analysis.
• Supports auto-negotiation.
• Supports frame sizes of 64 to 16,384 bytes.
• Ports are completely independent in operation.
• Virtually unlimited address space coverage with varying, multiple address fields.
• Allows mask-based address skipping for easier test setup.
• Supports ping and auto-ARP.
• Per-port internal trigger-in signal support to auto start transmission or capture on a
per-port basis.
• Per-stream protocol and frame size (64 to 16 KB) settings and per-port transmission
mode control settings (continuous, single-burst, multi-burst, continuous multi-burst,
and echo).
• Arbitrary stream sequencing enables mixing of various frame rates.
• Unicast, broadcast, and multi-cast traffic effects may be analyzed.
• 16 MB capture memory enables logging and exporting of filtered events to external
protocol analysis equipment.
• SmartMetrics (LAN-3300A/3310A) testing capabilities include throughput, sequence
tracking per stream, latency over time, latency per stream, and latency variation;
allows for histogram analysis.
• GBIC (LAN-3201B only). Allows users to change the physical interface to support
either multi-mode or single-mode fiber. Since the converters are hot-swappable, they
allow system configuration changes simply by plugging in a different type of
converter.
