1. DApps-NIC Overview
DApps-NIC is a software that allows NuDOG series to perform simulation of Network Interface
Card (NIC). Through DApps-NIC, the network traffic status is showed based on Tx/Rx, CRC
error, alignment error, dribble bit, packet size statistics, layer 2 packet counters and network
layer conditions. Besides, the DApps-NIC also provides tool to upgrade your NuDOG series’ FPGA and
License.

2. NuDOG-301C Descriptions
2.1. NuDOG-301C Overview
NuDOG-301C is a handheld device with two Gigabit ports for
Ethernet testing. The main functions of NuDOG-301C include
multi-streams generation, TAP/Loopback test, and NIC
emulation.
Connecting NuDOG-301C to its mini-USB port makes it
possible for system configurations and managements.
NuDOG-301C is an ideal device for in-field testing.
NuDOG-301C can work along with a series of utility software
that qualify industrial standards such as RFC 2889 and RFC 2544. With these utilities, NuDOG-301C is
able to conduct throughput test, latency test, error filtering test, forwarding test, and so on. Utility software
can provide a user-friendly interface for different test configurations when setting test parameters and
criteria. More optional software is available for extended test requirements.
With its unique Universal Stream Counter (USC), NuDOG-301C offers real-time statistics of network
events during packet monitoring and capturing.
With these advantageous features, NuDOG-301C is your best partner for LAB researching and in-field
troubleshooting.
2.2. Features & Advantages of NuDOG-301C
Hardware based wirespeed streams generation, analysis, network TAP and NIC
High precision performance for measuring throughput, latency, packet loss and disordered sequence
Wirespeed traffic capturing with programmable filter and trigger criteria
Supports Universal Stream Counter (USC) with 128 streams
RFC 2544 test suite
RFC 2889 test suite
Layer 1 and Layer 2 loopback test
High precision 1 ppm temperature-compensated oscillator provides accurate clock speed to ensure
the reliability of the tests
Adding errors in transmitted traffic to simulate and test abnormal situations
Real-time statistics for each port, including transmitted/received frame for VLAN, IPv4, IPv4 fragment,
IPv4 extension , ICMP, ARP, total bytes/packets, CRC, IPCS error and over-and-under size frames
Utility software with user-friendly interface that supports various parameter configurations and meets
various test requirements
512Mbits wirespeed packet capture buffer per port
2.3. NuDOG-301C Applications in Different Modes
Stream Generation Mode
In Streams Generation mode, NuDOG-301C generates bi-directional network streams for test
requirements as the illustration above.
Both NuDOG-301C's Port A and Port B can generate and receive test streams. The test streams are sent
and returned to the same NuDOG-301C for DUT (device under test) analysis.
TAP/Loopback Mode
TAP Mode
Loopback Mode
In TAP mode, NuDOG-301C can monitor any data that flows through it. Network TAP is a method of
monitoring network’s situation dynamically without interference. NuDOG-301C can tap bi-directional or
uni-directional traffic from different sides (port A and port B) and also provides abundant packet counters.
In Loopback mode, NuDOG-301C resends the incoming streams back to the source.
NIC Mode
In this mode, NuDOG-301C simulates network interface card (NIC).
