Anyone have any suggestions on devices that I can put at two points in the network to test packet loss, latency, jitter etc. I was thinking of maybe engineering my own using a couple of pi’s, but the downfall is they don’t have SFP ports. I’m looking for something that’s portable and easy to configure and drop in. Thanks.

Hi Nick, We've had great success with Exfo testers. They can be expensive if you're a small shop, but they really do "just work". I've used many open source tools, none of them compare to the Exfo's we have. Cheers, James.
