PacketExpert™ is a portable (USB based) Quad Port Ethernet / VLAN / MPLS / IP / UDP Tester with 4 Electrical Ethernet Ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) and 2 Optical Ports (1000 Mbps). Each GigE port provides independent Ethernet/VLAN/MPLS/I
P/UDP testing at wire speed for applications such as BERT, RFC 2544, and Loopback. BERT is implemented for all layers (as depicted below). RFC 2544 is applicable for Layers 2, 2.5, and 3, and Loopback is applicable for Layers 2, 3, and 4. Further, PacketExpert™ also supports optional applications for advanced testing such as Record and Playback, ExpertSAM™, PacketBroker, Multi Stream UDP/TCP Traffic Generator and Analyzer, and ExpertTCP.
It truly takes confusion out of Ethernet / IP testing at all protocol layers - from Layer1 frames to IP/UDP packets. It can be used as a general purpose Ethernet to IP performance analysis tool for 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps Ethernet local area networks and wide area networks (WAN). Two of the 4 ports in the PacketExpert™ unit support both electrical and optical interfaces per unit, enabling testing on optical fiber links as well. The electrical ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps, and optical ports support 1000 Mbps using SFP.
PacketExpert™ provides the following important functionalities –
Wire speed BERT
Smart Loopback
RFC 2544 Testing
Record and Playback
ExpertSAM
PacketBroker
Multi Stream UDP/TCP Traffic Generator and Analyzer
ExpertTCP™ - (Available with Multi Stream Traffic Generator Analyzer)
GL also offers other Ethernet/IP tester variants such as –
HD-PacketExpert™ in mTOP™ rack enclosure - a higher density 12/24 GigE ports form factor solution
PacketExpert™ 10G portable device with 10G optical ports..
PacketCheck™ is a software-only Ethernet to IP Test tool, with BERT and throughput (up to 800 Mbps)
With additional licensing (CXE100) enable remote controlling of PacketExpert™ through multiple command-line based clients. Supported clients includes C#, TCL, and Python. The Command line Interface (CLI) feature allows the users to access all the aforementioned functionalities remotely via clients using MAPS™ CLI Server.
Below is a depiction of the protocol stack that is supported with PacketExpert™.
