Line-speed network traffic generation appliances
Napatech network adapters are ideal for line-speed testing of Ethernet networks and devices with nanosecond precision. The adapters installed in standard servers, provide OEM vendors with a high performance hardware platform for affordable test and measurement systems.Key features for network traffic generation
- Line-rate transmission for all packet sizes
- Synchronized transmit
- Transmission with nanosecond precision
- Full load loop back testing
Full visibility load testing for all packet sizes
The Napatech adapters transmit at line rate for all packet sizes making it ideal for packet sweep load testing of Ethernet networks and devices.Napatech features allow the traffic generation application to introduce delays or simulate packet bursts. Defective packets, such as bad Ethernet FCS, and fragmented packets can also be generated.
Synchronized transmit from different appliances at different locations
When simulating network load, traffic can be transmitted from multiple adapters with nanosecond precision. The synchronized transmission can be between adapters within the same appliance as well as between different appliances at remote locations.Synchronized to external time sources
Napatech network adapters can be synchronized to the host OS time, to other Napatech network adapters or to external time sources:- IEEE 1588/PTP
- CDMA
- GPS receivers including leading commercial time servers
