WiFi Traffic Generator
WiFi Traffic Generator
LANforge WiFIRE supports 802.11 Virtual Stations and Access Point. To the System Under Test, it appears as if there are multipie PCs sitting inside the LANforge system generating independent traffic streams over Wireless NICs.
Many Virtual Station interfaces are supported per LANforge WiFIRE machine. LANforge can send traffic from one physical interface on the local machine to another interface on that same machine. Each physical and virtual interface can be configured on the same, or on different IP subnets.
In the configuration on the left, the LANforge FIRE Core can be one physical Ethernet interface and act as the server. The LANforge FIRE Edge can be the Virtual Station interfaces configured in the WiFi radio. Both interfaces can be on the same machine or multiple LANforge machines can be clustered together for increased traffic generation capacity.
