The Spirent LAN3300A is a dual-port Ethernet test module for the SMB-600 and SMB-6000B chassis, delivering full wire-rate traffic generation and analysis across 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps networks. This SmartMetrics module simulates millions of clients and servers while generating and analyzing millions of IP flows, making it ideal for QoS validation in DiffServ, MPLS, IP QoS, and VLAN environments.

– Key Features
• Full wire-rate traffic generation and analysis capability
• Per-stream latency measurement and histogram analysis
• Latency variation (jitter) tracking over time
• Sequence tracking per stream for packet loss detection
• Error injection for stress and negative testing
• Payload and IP header checksum verification
• 802.1q VLAN frame tagging
• Optional MPLS label stack encapsulation
• Ping and ARP protocol support
• Virtually unlimited address space with mask-based address skipping
• Client/server simulation capacity in the millions
– Testing Capabilities
Throughput validation, latency analysis, QoS assessment across DiffServ and MPLS domains, and interoperability testing between Ethernet and legacy technologies including ATM, Frame Relay, and Packet over SONET (POS).
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for Spirent SMB-600 or SMB-6000B chassis integration. Operates in conjunction with other modules to validate high-speed internetworking between 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and alternative transport technologies.
