SmartFlow
SmartFlow is a performance analysis tool to test Layers 2, 3, and 4 on Class of Service
devices and networks built with Class of Service priority strategies.
The following cards can be tested using the following SmartBits chassis:

– ML-7710, 10/100 Base-TX, SmartMetrics.
– ML-7711,100 Base-FX Fiber, SmartMetrics.
– ML-5710, 10 Base Ethernet, USB, SmartMetrics.
• In SMB-600 and SMB-6000B:
– LAN-3101A, 10/100 Base, 12-port, SmartMetrics.
– LAN-3111A, 100 Base-FX Fiber.

Cell Latency Measured between various end points using the ATM
cell characteristics. This test is applicable only to ATM
end-to-end operation. The test operates in upstream or
downstream test mode.
ATM Integrity Performs Cell Error Ratio (CER) measurements to
determine the accuracy of ATM cell transfer through
the ADSL-ATM network. It reports the number of
AAL5 CRC errored frames received. In this test each
frame equals one cell in size. Test is applicable only to
ATM end-to-end operation. The test operates in
upstream or downstream test modes.
