Smart Loopback

Smart Loopback

Allows transmitting back the received Ethernet stream of data while
interchanging the source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses,
and/or UDP/TCP ports. However in Transparent (Pseudo-Physical) mode
the Smart Loopback operates as a physical loopback by transmitting all
received frames unaltered and without discrimination.

The Smart Loopback test can be created locally (refer to Ethernet Test
Applications
on page 41) or remotely using an EXFO unit (refer to
Discover
Remote Button
on page 312).
