Frame size: RFC-defined sizes, user-configurable (bidirectional).

BERT

Unframed. Layer 1 to layer 4 with or without VLAN Q-in-Q.

Patterns (BERT)

PRBS 2E9-1, PRBS 2E11-1, PRBS 2E15-1, PRBS 2E20-1, PRBS 2E23-1, PRBS 2E31-1, CRPAT, CSPAT, CJTPAT, Short CRTPAT,
Long CRTPAT and up to 10 user patterns. Capability to invert patterns.

Error measurement

Jabber/giant, runt, undersize, oversize, FCS, symbol, idle, carrier sense, alignment, collision, late collision, excessive collision, UDP,
TCP and IP header checksum.

Error measurement (BERT)

Bit error, symbol error, idle error, bit mismatch 0, bit mismatch 1, performance monitoring (G.821 and G.826).

Alarm insertion (BERT)

Alarm detection

LOS, link down, pattern loss, no traffic.

Service disruption time
measurement (BERT)

Defect or No Traffic mode. Disruption time statistics include shortest, longest, last, average, total and count.

Multistream generation

Capability to transmit up to ten streams. Configuration parameters are: packet size, transmission mode (N-Frames, Burst, N-Burst, Ramp,
N-Ramp and Continuous), MAC source/destination address, VLAN ID, VLAN priority, IP source/destination address, ToS field, DSCP field,
TTL, UDP/TCP source/destination port and payload. Selectable predefined stream profiles for voice, video and data streams. VoIP codecs
(G.711, G.723, G.729), video (MPEG-2 SDTV, MPEG-2 HDTV, MPEG-4 HDTV).

Multistream analysis

Capability to analyze packet jitter, latency, throughput, frame loss and out-of-sequence per-stream statistics.

VLAN stacking (Q-in-Q)

Capability to generate streams with up to three layers of VLAN (including IEEE802.1ad Q-in-Q tagged VLAN) and to filter received traffic
by VLAN ID or VLAN priority at any of the stacked VLAN layers.

PBB-TE

a

Capability to generate and analyze streams with PBB-TE data traffic including configuration of B-MAC (source and destination), B-VLAN
and I-tag (as per 802.1ah) and to filter received traffic by any of these fields.

MPLS

a

Capability to generate and analyze streams with up to two layers of MPLS labels and to filter received traffic by MPLS label or COS.

IPv6

a

Capability to perform BERT, RFC 2544, traffic generation and analysis and Smart Loopback tests over IPv6.
Ping, traceroute, neighbor discovery and stateless auto-configuration.

Traffic filtering

Capability to analyze the incoming traffic and provide statistics according to a set of up to ten configurable filters. Filters can be configured
for MAC source/destination address, VLAN ID, VLAN priority, IP source/destination address, ToS field, DSCP field, TCP source/destination
port and UDP source/destination port. VLAN filtering can be applied to any of the stacked VLAN layers.
