15 Traffic Generator
The test traffic generation option allows to produce different types of test
traffic: static, MAC flood, VLAN flood, IP flood.
MAC, IP and VLAN flood modes allow to consume the limited addressable
memory of the DUT and to check if it has any protection against this kind of
attacks.
When you select MAC flood last 3 bytes of source MAC address will be
changed randomly.
When VLAN flood is selected, all VLAN ID and VLAN Priority bits will be
changed randomly.
When you select IP flood last byte of destination IP address will be
changed randomly.
