Candela’s LANforge-FIRE Test Scenarios

o       Run simultaneous Raw Ethernet, UDP/IP, TCP/IP, FTP, VoIP, and HTTP over the same Ethernet ports

o       Identify dropped, duplicate, reordered and corrupted packets

o       Create streams of various packet sizes and payloads, including:

Fixed payload size and contents

Random payload size and contents

Custom packets, including all headers, as specified by the user

o       Use fine grain control over packet rate, including the ability to specify bursty traffic to give a true representation of customer usage patterns

o       Blast your system-under-test with line speed 64 byte packets with randomized MAC and TCP addresses, to see if it can survive!

o       Create regression scripts using LANforge Perl libraries or your own favorite scripting language

o       Change MAC Addresses and IP information dynamically with a script, simulating mobile clients

o       Generate file system traffic to test local machine's performance

o       Generate NFS, SMB, and/or iSCSI file system traffic to test network and network-storage devices
