Currently, the PVC is the only type of Frame Relay circuit tested by SmartBits. The local
address for the Frame Relay switch is the data link connection identifier (DLCI).
Service fees are based on the committed information rate (CIR), which is equal to the
bandwidth available from one end to another. The frame size ranges from 32-bytes to the
maximum of 8,191-bytes.

Testing Packet over SONET Routers
Applications available to set up and test Packet over SONET (POS) routers:
•
SmartWindow for a customized virtual front panel application.
•
SmartLib for a programming library.
•
SmartApplications for automated RFC-1242 testing.
•
SmartFlow for forwarding and policy-based QoS testing with SmartMetrics.
POS device testing uses POS modules on the SmartBits 600/6000B chassis and are
capable of:
•
Generating up to 8,192 streams at any given time and analyzing the results.
•
Implementing up to 65,535 flows per stream–a total of 524 million flows per port.
•
Testing real POS Router performance with SmartMetrics: Per-flow Frame loss,
Latency, Latency and Sequence, and Latency Distribution tracking.
•
Testing core and edge router capabilities through a fully integrated array of Spirent
SmartMetrics cards.
