Primary
Applications:
• Evaluate key performance parameters of 10 Gigabit Ethernet routers and switches
under typical or extreme traffic load conditions.
• Qualify 10 Gigabit Ethernet routers during development, quality assurance, and final
regression testing.
• Perform comparative analysis of 10 Gigabit Ethernet routers.
• Analyze performance under many traffic conditions, both legal and illegal, with easy-
to-customize traffic generation parameters.
• Re-qualify 10 Gigabit Ethernet routers after firmware upgrades.
Features: • Wire-rate traffic analysis and capture with IP checksum error detection.
• Generates/accepts 802.1p, 802.1q, and 802.3ac VLAN tagged frames.
• Provides performance measurement and ineroperability testing for Layer 2 and Layer
3 devices.
• Network-wide Network Layer QoS analysis using IP Precedence bit.
• Generates and responds to 802.3x flow control commands.
• Data Integrity Check detects bit errors in Layer 3 forwarding devices.
• 4 Mbps capture buffer enables the logging and exporting of filtered events to protocol
analysis equipment.
• IP index increments with each frame transmitted.
