NuApps-2544 is a test suite based on RFC-1242 and RFC-2544 for analyzing Ethernet
switches, bridges, and routers. The multiple topologies and the load generation
capabilities provide an effective way to evaluate Throughput, Latency, Packet Loss,
and Back-to-Back of a DUT in One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-One configurations.
The real time display of test results and various customizable report formats make it
easy to view the test data and organize them into an appropriate form for debug, report,
and record.

Please note that the Latency test of NuApps-2544 is supported by XM-2202, XM-22R4
(port 1 must pair with port 2; port 3 with port 4), and XM-23R2 only when 2 ports are
connected within the same module.
