Fluke Networks OptiView™ Integrated Network Analyzer
Traffic Generation
The OptiView Analyzer’s Traffic Generator allows you to create different
traffic loads to help stress test your network. The protocol type, frame
size, frame rate, percentage utilization and number of frames to
transmit are user configurable, along with the type of traffic:
Broadcast, Multicast or Unicast.
Protocols that may be selected include Benign Ethernet, Benign LLC
802.2, NetBEUI, Benign IP, IP ICMP Echo, IP UDP Echo, IP UDP
Discard, IP UDP NFS and IP UDP NetBIOS. Selecting an IP protocol will
also allow you to select Time to live (TTL) parameters and TOS(QOS)
parameters such as Minimum Delay, Maximum Throughput, Maximum
Reliability, Minimum Monetary Cost and Maximum Security.
The Traffic Generator also provides you with some preset traffic
conditions such as 50% of 512 Kbps, 50% of 1.5 Mbps, 50% of 10 Mbps
and 50% of 100 Mbps. The lower portion of the Traffic Generator
screen has a graphical representation of the traffic path and depending
on the traffic type selected will allow you to analyze switch statistics,
drill into routers and even perform a trace route measurement.
