CT525-384-6ac

LANforge WiFIRE WiFi-5 Six Radio Traffic Generator

The CT525-1200-6n wireless traffic generator is an excellent platform for testing Access Points and other WiFi networks.

Each CT525-1200-6n system includes six WiFi-5 radios which together support up to 384 virtual stations (64 per radio). Systems may be clustered together for increased client number and capabilities, and also support packet capture and emulated Access Points.

The CT525-384-6ac is a 2U rackmount system. It has 18 antennas. It will fit into a standard rackmount cabinet.

Performance exceeds 900Mbps per 802.11AC radio: Open | WPA2 | TCP-DL-30sta | UDP-Netgear-64sta | TCP-Netgear-64sta | UDP-LANforge-AP-64sta | TCP-LANforge-AP-64sta | Hunt-Open | Hunt-WPA2 |

    Layer 4-7: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, TFTP, SFTP, SCP 802.11a/b/g/n/AC Wireless Station (up to 384 per machine)
    File-IO: NFSv3, NFSv4, CIFS, iSCSI
  • Supports up to 1000 concurrent TCP connections with base license package.
  • Able to push up to 950Mbps on each 802.11AC radio, depending on the protocols mix, wireless mode & environment, and speed of the network under test. Supports at least 60 VoIP (SIP, RTP) calls if appropriate licenses are purchased. When all six radios are configured on different channels, combined maximum upload speed exceeds 1800Mbps.
  • Supports real-world compliance with ARP protocol
  • Supports ToS (QoS) settings for TCP/IP and UDP/IP connections
  • Utilizes libcurl for FTP, HTTP & HTTPS (SSL), TFTP, and SCP protocols.
  • Supports file system test endpoints (NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI file systems, too!).
  • Supports custom command-line programs, such as telnet, SMTP, and ping
  • Comprehensive traffic reports include: Packet Transmit Rate, Packet Receive Rate, Packet Drop %, Transmit Bytes, Receive Bytes, Latency, Jitter, various Ethernet driver-level counters, and much more.
  • Allows packet sniffing and network protocol decoding with the integrated Wireshark protocol sniffer.
  • GUI runs as Java application on Linux, MAC, and Microsoft operating systems (among others)
  • GUI can run remotely, even of low-bandwidth links.
  • Includes built-in scripting for iterating through rates and packet sizes, with automated reporting. Also supports a scriptable CLI (telnet) which can be used to automate test scenarios. Perl libraries and example scripts are provided!
