  10. TPI4000 Series Traffic Generator • Generate protocol specific traffic • Complete control over timing and content of data. • Maintain full-line rate traffic, even across multiple links • Features • Output any traffic load scenario up to full line rate traffic to test maximum throughput • Simulate protocol, data and CRC errors • Control inter‐frame and inter‐burst packet gaps • Test buffer limits by manipulating flow control fields • Stress multiple links simultaneously with no performance loss • Monitor statistics in real time TPI4000 Series Overview

  11. TPI4000 Series One Instrument – Multiple Functions Analyze Characterize Stress Stimulate

  12. Stress Testing “Why do I want to inject errors into my system after I spent all this time just getting it to work?” • DUT and associated system are designed and built to behave correctly • Generally they are tested for correct behavior • Every catastrophe is the result of something that was not tested.

  13. Designing Stress Tests • Specifications • Thou shalt not • ‘….but what happens if I do” • Experience • This happened in the past • Knowledge of System Design • Poke the soft underbelly • Use Impairment Tester to simulate delays • Use Error Injector to test design’s error recovery capabilities

  14. TPI4000 Series Impairment Tester • Simulates the delays caused by long cable runs • Features • Simulate cable length & delays • Determine the amount of delay • Select criteria to identify errors • Check for delays to the millisecond • Report bit‐level diagnostic details • Supports sequential and direct access devices

  15. TPI4000 Series Error Injector • Test error recovery capabilities • Features • Replace data on the link with user-defined data in real time • Corrupt values or remove events from the link to replace data and simulate slow device response times • Recalculate and insert CRC values automatically where applicable • Integrate proprietary protocols into error injection • Generate custom test patterns for custom applications with the TPI4000 Protocol Database Editor and application software
