The Spirent LAN3325A is a TeraMetrics XD module that delivers wire-rate traffic generation and analysis across Layer 2 through Layer 7 for Ethernet network validation. This 4-port module supports dual media connectivity—copper (10/100/1000 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet fiber via SFP transceiver—enabling comprehensive performance testing from individual devices to large routed networks. It simulates millions of clients, servers, and IP flows simultaneously while emulating routing protocols, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6, and PIM-SM/PIM-SSM multicast traffic.
