The Ultimate Seamless Network Test and Robustness Tool
PacAna is an Ethernet Network diagnostics and robustness tool suite with available versions for aerospace or automotive applications.
10/100/1000 Base T
The 10/100/1000 Base T was originally used for testing Aerospace ethernet based critical networks such as A664 and TTE.
100/1000 Base T1
The 100/1000 Base T1 version was designed for the automotive industry.
PacAna utilizes 4 configuration tables (i.e. 2 bidirectional network connections) to independently or jointly operate on two separate Ethernet nodes in a network. Each Configuration table can operate on 4096 different packets concurrently or sequentially.
When inserted between existing ethernet connections, PacAna performs various packet manipulation, and timing measurements with minimal delay. It can also be configured to selectively sniff one node and forward the desired packets with timing information to the ports.
PacAna’s text based serial commands provide simple interface to higher level network scheduling tools.
-
Manipulation and measurement on both channels with four independent configuration tables.
-
Manipulation and measurement on channel A and sniffing (duplicating) Ax ports onto Bx ports.
-
Manipulation and measurement on channel A and independent packet transmission on the Bx ports.
Four ports (A0, A1, B0, and B1) are configurable separately into 3 modes:
