Agilent Announces 32,000-Stream Packet Generation and Test System

Agilent Technologies introduced its new packet generation and performance analysis system capable of testing some 32,000 streams. The Agilent system allows users to create virtually any type of Layer 2 to Layer 7 test packet or frame, and apply any type of network encapsulation to it, including L2oMPLS, L2TP, GRE, VLAN, Frame Relay and PPP encapsulations. This permits developers to test equipment response and performance at any point in a test network with an appropriate frame or packet structure. Stream groups can be defined to rapidly create hundreds or thousands of streams of user-defined packets. Agilent is also introducing new cards for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit UniPHY.
