Performance Testing for Live Network Data

In some live network environments, it is often difficult to obtain the forwarding performance of network devices for live traffic.

For network performance, traditional testing solutions typically involve using network testers to send test traffic to the network under test, which is then forwarded back to the tester for generating statistics on various performance metrics. However, in actual demands, the forwarding performance of some special service packets within the network depends on the interaction process inherent to the protocol. For such demands, relying solely on network testers cannot accurately simulate the complete interaction process, leading to significant deviations between test results and actual application scenarios.

The WT2100A provides a comprehensive performance testing solution for live networks.

The Ethertone WT2100A can identify packets on the line that are of interest to users, generate statistical information regarding the forwarding performance of the Network Under Test (NUT) for selected service packets, and create corresponding records. This statistics include packet latency, jitter, packet loss, misorder packets, and forwarding rate.

The WT2100A is equipped with four 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports, featuring high-speed processing capabilities and providing bidirectional independent packet filtering and statistics. Each direction has up to 64 packet filters, capable of generating 64 independent traffic statistics.
