User selectable Electrical and/or Optical interface for Port2 and Port3 allows mixed technology testing.Traffic options lets technicians generate Ethernet to IP frames with user-configurable frame length, and frame size with varying traffic rates.Control multiple hardware units from a single GUI, multiplying the number of ports available per system.Capable of generating/receiving Ethernet to IP traffic at wire speed.mTOP™ Probe with PacketExpert™ 1G tester - a hardware unit designed for easier portability and convenient for field testing.HD-PacketExpert™ in mTOP™ rack enclosure - a higher density 12/24 GigE ports form factor solution.2 of the 4 ports can be optical supporting 100/1000 Mbps line rate Full Duplex mode.All 4 ports can be electrical supporting user-defined or auto-negotiated speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps Full Duplex mode.USB based Quad Ports Ethernet / IP Tester.The electrical ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps, and optical ports support 100/1000 Mbps using SFP. 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. 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).

It truly takes confusion out of Ethernet / IP testing at all protocol layers - from Layer1 frames to IP/UDP packets. 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.

RFC 2544 is applicable for Layers 2, 2.5, and 3, and Loopback is applicable for Layers 2, 3, and 4. BERT is implemented for all layers (as depicted below). Each GigE port provides independent Ethernet/VLAN/MPLS/IP/UDP testing at wire speed for applications such as BERT, RFC 2544, and Loopback.

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 (100/1000 Mbps).
