I am seeking a means of performing basic 10/100 bit error rate testing using a Win XP laptop w/ integrated NIC. Essentially I am looking for a software application to run on the laptiop that can generate and terminate fixed length (up to 1518 byte) packets of random data content.
The purpose is simple 10/100 bit error rate testing. I don't need to manipulate the IP header, nor is higher level protocol testing required. However, it is necessary for the software tool to generate - as well as terminate - test traffic, so a receive-only sniffer/protocol analyzer won't work.
The desired functionality is equivalent to a very stripped-down/poor man's version of a Spirent SmartBits with a SX-7410 card and SMartWindows software.
Any leads?
TIA, Danny
