• Line Speed: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps per port
• Frame Size Range: 40 to 16,384 bytes
• IP Stream Generation: Maximum 512 peer-to-peer streams
• IP Stream Analysis: Up to 64,000 IP streams
• Auto-Negotiation: Supported
• Power Consumption: Less than 100 W
• Physical Dimensions: 14 x 12 x 4 inches
• Weight: Approximately 5 lbs (2.27 kg)
– Key Features
• Stream-based traffic generation at full wire rate with simultaneous transmit-receive capability on independent ports
• Dual-plane testing: data plane performance evaluation and control plane functional assessment
• Dynamic traffic analysis with port isolation for unbiased measurements
• Auto-negotiation support for flexible link speed configuration
– Typical Applications
• Network device performance characterization and benchmarking
• RFC-based interoperability and conformance testing
• Functional validation of network systems and applications
• Multi-stream load generation and analysis for complex network topologies
– Compatibility & Integration
The LAN3302A integrates directly into Spirent SmartBits chassis: SMB-600 and SMB-6000B. Module operation requires Spirent Smart Applications SmartWindow software for automated RFC benchmark testing and test execution. No internal or external software is supplied with the module.
