[comp.dcom.lans] Ethernet Test Equipment?

matthews@uswat.uswest.com (John Matthews) (08/17/90)

Can someone tell me where I can find an ethernet test device that
can transmit packets out one ethernet interface and receive them
on a second interface and tell me the delay involved in getting
to the second interface.  We need such a device to measure the delay
through multiple twisted pair concentrators.  It would also be nice if
such a device could also load ethernet to it's maximum capacity.

Check out a unit called EXPERDATA.  Does 100% Ethernet load testing and
may also do the delay measurement your wanting.  Look on page 51 in the
August issue of LAN Technology for their ad.  

EXPERDATA

Ad say tests and identifies malfunctioning network interface cards, MAU's,
hubs, concentrators during installation and while the network is operating.
Also test Token RIng LANs.
