• ML-5710A SmartMetrics 10 Mbps Ethernet
Card Type: SmartMetrics 10 Mbps Ethernet SmartCard; configurable in two modes (10
Mbps Ethernet and USB)
Where Used: SMB-200 and SMB-2000: one port per card; each card occupies one slot in a
chassis.
Applications
Supported:
SmartWindow, SmartLib.
Devices Tested: Ideal for broadband access devices such as cable modem devices.
Test Objective: Implements sophisticated flow-based stream-based traffic generation, while
performing SmartMetrics analysis on receive traffic in real-time and at wire
rate. End-to-end performance analysis of cable modem devices and systems.
