Ethernet IP Traffic Generator and Analyzer

Diagram illustrating the architecture of a traffic generator and traffic analyzer system. The top section shows the traffic generator, including packet building, streams, flow management, burst and error control, with outgoing data rates indicated. The bottom section depicts the traffic analyzer, featuring a performance matrix, PID processing, packet validation, error detection, and statistical analysis, with data flow between components marked.
  • The Network Traffic Generator and Analyzer is a high-performance test solution designed for validating Ethernet networks, devices, and applications across speeds ranging from 1G to 100G. It provides both traffic generation and deep analysis capabilities, making it ideal for benchmarking, functional verification, and performance testing of networking equipment.

  • Stream-oriented Traffic Generation and Analysis

  • Wire-speed packet generation with timestamps, sequence numbers, and data integrity signature optionally inserted into each packet.

  • Define and Generate traffic Up to 256 streams at wire speed.

  • Per-stream and per-port bandwidth control ensures accurate rate shaping, while up to 256 simultaneous streams provide granular traffic profiling.

  • Supports customizable headers up to 512 bytes including Ethernet, Ethernet II, VLAN, ARP, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, TCP, GTP, ICMP, SIP, RTP, RTCP, STP, MPLS, PBB, or RAW (fully specified by user).

  • Each stream can generate millions of unique traffic flows using multiple packet field modifiers by programmable increment, decrement or randomize field values such as MAC address, IP Address or Port Numbers

  • User defined stream rates as percentage of line rate or packets per second

  • User defined Traffic profile as burst or uniform

  • User defined Custom Packet Header per stream using easy to use Packet Header Builder

  • programmable frame lengths (fixed, incremental, random, IMIX, EMIX, butterfly)

  • diverse payload types such as user-defined patterns, incremental and PRBS31.

  • Error insertion at multiple protocol layers (IP, UDP, FCS, PID), Payload and Link-flip allows realistic stress and fault testing.

  • Delivers comprehensive visibility into network performance and quality of service.

  • Real-time Analysis and Reporting

  • Packet flow statistics per stream

  • Incoming packet streams auto identified using Test Payload fields inserted during transmission

  • Real-time per-stream analysis of traffic throughput, jitter, loss, sequence and drop errors with nsec accuracy

  • Wire speed packet capture on each port for offline analysis

  • Supports up to 1024 traceable flows with real-time validation of IP/UDP checksums, PID integrity, and frame check sequences.

  • Advanced Performance Metrics per received stream including Frame Transfer Delay (Latency), and Frame Delay Variation (Jitter) for precise characterization. frame/byte counters, payload integrity error, packet sequence error and packet mis-order detection.

  • Payload verification using incremental or static patterns ensures end-to-end data integrity.

  • Support for various loopbacks including Internal Loopback, External L1/L2/L3 Loopback, Cross-Port Loopback (Network Tap)

  • system adapts seamlessly to a wide range of testing environments — from device R&D labs to carrier-grade network validation.

  • combines high-fidelity traffic generation with robust analysis capabilities, enabling users to confidently assess throughput, latency, jitter, error behavior, and resilience of modern Ethernet networks.
