Comprehensive Ethernet Testing Solutions

Overview
High-speed Ethernet links are widely found in local area networks, metropolitan area networks, and wide-area networks. Testing network performance of high-speed Ethernet links is challenging and requires specialized test tools. PacketExpert™ offers many industry-standard testing modules including bit error rate testing, RFC 2544, loopback mode functionality, ITU-T Y.1564 for verifying service level agreements, and RFC 6349 for TCP throughput testing.

Furthermore, PacketExpert™ can function as a wire-speed network tap and can record and playback traffic onto a network. Also, within the tap configuration, PacketExpert™ can impair selected streams of traffic as they pass through the device. These impairments can be packet loss, bandwidth throttling, added latency, duplicated, reordered, or corrupted packets. PacketExpert™ offers all these capabilities as optional licenses and is the most cost-effective solution in the market.

Engineers that manage large Ethernet/IP networks must find ways to remotely test and monitor their networks for performance. PacketExpert™ provides a comprehensive Ethernet/IP testing solution with convenient remote access capabilities. It can be deployed at a remote site and also at a local site for an end-to-end network test.
