Benchmark the performance of your switch, router or VNF implementations using RFC 2544 test suites. These test suites measure throughput, loss, delay, jitter and permitted burst size of your devices. The results are automatically plotted in real-time and reports can be downloaded in PDF format with the click of a button.

Use GENEM’s powerful synthetic traffic generation tools to emulate real-world traffic by combining multiple application streams into multiplexed flows. Create any type of packet and specify header values using our intuitive packet editor. Add hardware timestamps and sequence numbers to synthetic traffic to track performance of streams. Accurate stream rate control allows you to precisely throttle the rate of packet transmission on a test port for each stream independently.

You can capture traffic on any of the test ports with the click of your mouse. A large 8GB onboard capture buffer can store a copy of received packets up to line rate. You can export the capture buffer and decode the contents using WireShark. You can also playback the capture at the rate it was captured or at full line rate. Upload pre-saved PCAP files to the PROVA and play them back on any test port.

GENEM uses Siama’s micro-scan™ engines in conjunction with Exit-Actions to emulate stateful traffic between the test appliance and a DUT. Emulate millions of TCP client connection requests to a server to verify the scalability of your implementations.

Emulate complex networks and systems by using GENEM’s network emulation capabilities. Artificially add latency, jitter and loss between traffic source and sink to simulate network conditions, including congestion and loss, to determine how your applications will behave.

Use GENEM’s powerful micro-scan™ engines to inspect and filter packets based on fine granularity indicators for monitoring. Collect statistics on flows and micro-flows, applications or IP Address ranges. Capture flows or enable packet forwarding to send captures to a mass storage device.
