Hello,
I'm in the process of evaluating some switch testing equipment and was
wondering if anyone had experiences (good or bad) they could share
with any of the finalists.
Spirent TestCenter
Anritsu MD1230B
Ixia 400T

They are all very similar on paper and the demos were all nice.
Unfortunately a couple of hours isn't enough time to really kick the
tires on them, so I'm hoping to get some real world feedback on their
plusses and minuses.

TIA,
Dan
