When we had to do this once in a blue moon, we just bought a pair of old Ag=
ilent Framescopes off ebay. They worked great but we had issues getting rep=
orting out of them. They had RJ45 and SFP on them.=20

Greetings all,

Looking for a good test set. Primary use will be testing L2 circuits (It'l=
l technically be VPLS, But the test set will just see L2). Being able to te=
st routed L3 would also be useful. Most of the sets I've seen are two sided=
, A "reflector" at the remote side, And the test set in hand run by the tec=
hnician.

Looking to test up to 1Gb/s at various packet sizes, Measure Packet loss, =
Jitter..etc. Primarily Copper, But if it had some form of optical port, I w=
ouldn't complain. Outputting a report that we can provide to the customer w=
ould be useful, But isn't mandatory. Doesn't need anything fancy, Like MPLS=
awareness, VLAN ID's..etc.=20
