9. Appendix – Other Utility Softwares for NuDOG series
There are several other optional utility softwares for NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T for different
kinds of test requirements. The following section contains brief descriptions of these utility softwares.
DApps-TAP: Network TAP/Loopback Utility
For NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T, all data streams between two network ports can be
duplicated and sent to PC via mini USB port for monitoring and analyzing. The user can specify conditions
to filter the packets wanted with DApps-TAP application software. It reduces USB port’s network traffic and
also cuts down PC resource consumption while dealing with large quantity of packets.
DApps-SG: Control Suite for Multiple Streams Generator
DApps-SG provides a powerful and sophisticated virtual front control panel to manage this device. Two test
ports can be configured independently with parameters to define multiple streams and capture capabilities.
Traffic for various network protocols can be customized, transmitted, and received on each port.
Comprehensive statistics give users an in-depth analysis of the DUT performance.
DApps-NIC: Network Interface Card Simulation Suite
NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T has a mini-USB port for PC connection. In addition to network
TAP, system control and system upgrade functions. NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T can also be
used as a network interface card. With control software and NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T’s
hardware conversion, network data streams can flow between NuDOG-301C/NuDOG-801/NuDOG-101T’s
USB and network port.
DApps-2544: Test Suit Based on RFC 2544
DApps-2544 is a user-friendly and automatic test suite based on industry-standard RFC 2544. It generates
and analyzes packets to evaluate the Throughput performances, Latency, Packet Loss, and Back-to-Back
of Ethernet switches or routers via this device. The real-time test results display and customized report
provide an effective way when examining the DUT.
DApps-2889: Test Suit Based on RFC-2889
DApps-2889 is a user-friendly and automatic test suite based on industry-standard RFC-2889 (partial) to
test the DUT. RFC 2889 provides methodology for benchmarking for local area network (LAN) switching
devices, forwarding performance, congestion control, latency, address handling and filtering. It extends the
methodology already defined for benchmarking network interconnecting devices in RFC 2889.
