Overview

LANTraffic V2 and IP Traffic Test & Measure are powerful software testing tools for automatic generation of TCP and UDP traffic. User can specify configuration parameters to shape and control traffic load. Networks and devices (terminals, gateways, routers, PBX...) may be tested for voice, fax, data or multimedia transmission over IP. Software comprises of two parts:

Sender	Generates TCP and UDP traffic in 'unitary' mode where each connection is configured separately or 'automatic' mode where all connections are generated as a whole.
Sender	Unitary Mode The user chooses protocol (TCP or UDP) and data source with mathematical laws (Pareto, Uniform, Exponential), file or packet generator with configurable contents. Inter-packet delay and packet size may be selected. Received data and RTT (round trip time) information may be saved.
Sender	Automatic Mode In this mode, the user may choose the number of connections to activate plus starting time, the volume of transmitted data and packet size of enabled connections.
Receiver	Receives IP connections and may be disabled or configured to echo, absorb or file absorb.

Features Unique to IP Traffic Test & Measure - IP Generator Software

IP Traffic Test & Measure includes the following unique features:

Replay Traffic
Measure and capture data performance of a chosen network in real time using a sniffer module and then re-create this performance using IP Traffic Test & Measure software in a simulated lab environment.

Global Traffic Observer
On-line or off-line analysis of many QoS parameters (send and receive) including throughputs, inter-packet delay, packet erasure rate (PER) and packet transit delay. The user may configure parameters and statistics to export for report generation.

Replay Data
The sniffer module can record real data carried over an IP network and replay this data using the         'IP Traffic Generator' module.

Remote Control
A local PC running IP Traffic Test & Measure software can control a remote PC running the same software.

Reference Clock and Synchronization
Two hardware options are available for the IP Traffic Test & Measure host PC, one to provide a highly accurate reference clock (Z-Clock option) and the other to synchronize two host PC's at different locations (GPS option). The GPS option allows accurate measurement of end-to-end performance and quality of service over any fixed or mobile network.
