CT502-1G
LANforge-FIRE Traffic Generator
The CT502-1G is a system for testing firewalls, routers, and other devices that pay attention to network flows. The CT502-1G emulates up to 250 virtual interfaces using a single physical ethernet interface.
The CT502-1G 1U rackmount chassis fits into a standard rack and is about 14 inches deep. The rackmount chassis fans are noisy, so it is better suited for deployment in a data center than a desktop environment. This system includes the Armageddon feature and 6 physical ports at no additional charge.
