SWF1201A In Stock

The SWF1201A by Spirent is a SmartFlow QoS performance tester, specially engineered to assess the quality of service for IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4 multicast flows. SmartFlow employs advanced SmartMetricsTM cards to generate traffic that represents various classes of service. By analyzing the performance of each incoming stream, SmartFlow rigorously evaluates a system's capacity to handle a high volume of flows, while accurately handling policies and provisioned bandwidth.

With the SWF1201A SmartFlow, configuring and executing an array of tests becomes a seamless process. The user can effortlessly set up a multitude of tests that typically require just a single one-time configuration with or without DHCP. These tests encompass a wide range of vital performance metrics, including Throughput/Forwarding Rate, Frame Loss, Latency, Jumbo Test, Latency Distribution, Latency Over Time, Latency Snapshot, SmartTracker, and DHCP. Each class of service, characterized by DiffServ, IP precedence, VLAN priority, protocol, port number, and more, is meticulously measured to provide precise insights.

The SWF1201A SmartFlow excels at transmitting and tracking thousands of flows per port, granting the user the ability to monitor results on a per-flow or per-group basis. A comprehensive display of results allows the user to track all flows within each priority bucket, facilitating priority comparisons. The tester's capability to measure up to 64,000 completely unique streams per port and transmit up to 8,000 classes of service per port ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the network's performance. Designed for unparalleled flexibility, the SWF1201A SmartFlow adapts effortlessly to Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches and routers, making it an ideal choice for a variety of network setups.

The SWF1201A SmarFlow boasts a broad range of features and adaptability extend to broadband access-based applications that rely on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and cable/DSL modems. With its intuitive setup wizards, creating traffic patterns for full mesh, backbone, port pair, waterfall, or user-defined flows becomes a breeze. The SmartFlow simulates the behavior of hundreds of thousands of cable or DSL modem users (hosts) interacting with DHCP servers on broadband-based networks. Through continuous looping traffic blaster mode, the user gain real-time visibility into results and frame rates during testing.
