TeraMetrics also supports the on-board creation of traffic shaping and traffic generation, which speeds test setup. Primary Applications Measure specific control plane performance of networkembedded applications, such as routing, load balancing, Multicast IP, Mobile IP, and security. Run custom and third-party applications enabled by the TeraMetrics architecture. Perform stress and negative testing by injecting errored traffic. Supports frame sizes of 40 to 16,384 bytes.
Ports are completely independent in operation.
Instruments millions of flows per stream, thereby stressing a router by having it perform a different routing decision for each and every frame. Each frame may be set to a fixed frame size or may be set to generate random frame sizes using a uniform distribution. Allows mask-based address skipping for easier test setup. Generates and accepts 802.1p, 802.1q, and 802.3ac VLAN tagged frames. Provides optional MPLS label stack encapsulation.
