The hardware traffic generator is equipped with four 100M/1GE/10GE measurement interfaces together with software that allows defining network flows in all layers of ISO/OSI model. Together with the necessary software. The generator has the ability to emulate L2/3 layer routing/switching protocols, emulate L4-7 layer session application protocols, and analyze 1 million flows per port with Tx/Rx Sync sequence checking disabled or 512 thousand flows per port with Tx/Rx Sync sequence checking enabled. The device generates frames of min. 49 bytes and max. 16384 bytes. QoS analysis is provided for each of the generated streams. In particular it is possible to emulate BGP4/BGP4+, OSPFv2/v3, ISISv4/v6, EIGRP/EIGRPv6, RIP/RIPng, BFD, IGMP/MLD, PIM-SM/SSM, STP/RSTP/MSTP, PVST+/RPVST+, Link Aggregation (LACP), LISP, OpenFlow, Segment Routing, BGP Link State (BGP-LS), PCEP, VXLAN, EVPN VXLAN, OVSDB, GENEVE, RSVP-TE P2P/P2MP, LDP/LDPv6/mLDP, LDP L2VPN (PWE/VPLS), BGP VPLS, L3VPN/6VPE, 6PE, BGP RFC3107, MPLS-TP, MPLS OAM, EVPN/PBB-EVPN, Multicast VPN Rosen Draft, NG Multicast VPN, PPPoX/L2TPv2, DHCPv4/DHCPv6, ANCP, IPv6 Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), IGMP/MLD, IPTV, 802.1x, WebAuth, EAPoUDP, Cisco NAC, Link OAM (IEEE 802.3ah), CFM/Y.1731, PBB/PBB-TE, ELMI, TWAMP, Sync- E ESMC, IEEE 1588v2 (PTP), gPTP (IEEE 802.1AS), MSRP (IEEE 802.1 Qat), IEEE 1722, DCBX/LLDP, FCoE/FIP, PFC (IEEE 802.1Qbb), TRILL, Cisco FabricPath, SPBM, VEPA.
