We have quite a number of companies using hardware from companies like Ixia and Spirent - the key is to use tools that makes it easy to setup a testing methodology without hiring a support staff. You can contact me directly for more information and how others like Cisco, At&T, Vodafone and many more are doing this sort of testing.

It really depends on the product you are testing. If forwarding performance is what you want to measure, you would do it with various routing table sizes (starting small and ending with a global table). Packet size is also something you should look at. We could provide better suggestions if you tell us what your product is. Vlad Galu galu () packetdam com
