1/10/25/100 Gbps Ethernet IP Traffic Generator and Analyzer

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 nano second 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

The diagram includes arrows showing process flow and text annotations describing packet size, flow counts, and error types.

Real-time Analysis and Reporting

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