Since you know of the spirent stuff, have a look at the adtech 4000 (http://adtech.spirentcom.com/)... this system is more capable at the ATM layer, if that matters for you. Also, try ixia (http://www.ixiacom.com/)... they are the winner on price / performance with IP datagrams. Regards, Andrew Bender taqua.com

DSL Test System requirements:
-Interfaces: ATM, Ethernet, DS3, OC3, OC12, 10/100 -Generate approximately 32,000 PPP sessions -Bi-directional traffic -PPP throughput tests -L2TP emulation (both LAC and LNS) -Ability to perform L2TP conformance test as per RFC 2661 -Simulate user traffic and session turn up rates -Full negotiation of the IP and PPP parameters -Ability to vary the rate of the PPP session startup -Ability to see the sessions and associated users or IP addresses -Take measurements while generating the L2TP tunnels and PPP sessions -Generate PPPoE sessions through the L2TP tunnels -Generate PPPoA sessions using AAL5 and RFC1483 -Generate PPPoEoA sessions using AAL5 and RFC1483
Unfortunately, the adtech doesn't appear to have a full PPP implementation and IXIA doesn't support PPPoX now. Thanks anyway... -Tim
