LAN-3301A In Stock

The LAN-3301A by Spirent is a highly advanced TeraMetrics RJ-45 Ethernet module designed specifically for evaluating the interoperability and performance of networking devices. This module boasts an open architecture, providing extensive capabilities for network performance testing. By utilizing the LAN-3301A, users can efficiently test applications while also creating third-party applications compatible with the module's operating systems. These operating systems can be conveniently run on the on-board Pentium III processor. One notable feature of the module is its compatibility with copper-based connections, supporting rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps.

The LAN-3301A has the ability to simulate the presence of millions of clients and servers, allowing for comprehensive testing of network systems. It provides per-flow metrics for IP flows, enabling the assessment of quality of service for various devices. To streamline test setups, the module supports on-board traffic generation and shaping. The LAN-3301A offers support for both SmartBits SmartMetrics modes and traditional "packet blasting" across a wide range of software applications. This facilitates ease of use for sequence tracking tests, histogram analysis, latency distribution, latency over time, stream latency, and frame loss evaluations, whether for a single device under test (DUT) or an extensive router network.

The LAN-3301A finds applications in diverse scenarios, including control plane performance measurements of network embedded applications. It simplifies setups by allowing mask-based address skipping. Moreover, during data transmission, this module can emulate "smart" protocols at various OSI layers. Its architecture enables the execution of third-party and custom applications, offering the flexibility to assess the performance parameters of 10/100/1000 Mbps network devices. Comparative analysis, stress testing, and negative testing of these networking devices can be performed effectively using the module. Key capabilities of the LAN-3301A include the generation of up to 512 independent IP streams, support for 802.3x flow control commands and 802.1q VLAN tagged frames, as well as compatibility with a wide range of frame sizes, auto negotiation, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and ping functionality.
