About multiple streams testing
Using the HST-3000 with an Ethernet SIM, you can transmit
up to eight streams of layer 2 Ethernet, layer 3 IP, or layer 4
TCP/UDP traffic carrying an Acterna Test Packet (ATP)
payload. Before transmitting the streams, you can set up each
stream to depict a particular type of traffic, and then verify that
network routing and switching devices prioritize the traffic
properly. You can also verify the bandwidth utilized and
observe a count of transmitted, received, and lost frames or
packets for each respective stream.

layer 3, or layer 4 streams test for your application.
