Mainly RFC2544 and physical media. QoS could be handy, but it's not as important as proving that the circuit is meeting our expectations from the carrier(s).

What are you looking to test? Are you interested in having the kit
emulate many devices? Do you want to be able to test QoS
realistically? Do you care about one-way latency accurately?
Or is this more about proving the physical media is fine?
