How many stateful 802.11 clients can I create using VeriWave hardware?
With the VeriWave Traffic Generator and Analyzer, up to 500 stateful clients can be created on each test port. The 802.11 a/b/g test blade as well as the 802.11 a/b/g/n SISO test blade, has 4 independent test ports on each. Thus, a fully-loaded WT90 VeriWave chassis, housing 9 (nine) test blades is capable of creating up to 18,000 independent 802.11 clients. Each client implements an independent MAC 802.11 state machine, as well as independent implementation of L3 (IP), authentication and encryption and stateful L4 (TCP / UDP) and L7 (FTP / HTTP / VoIP / IPTV etc.) protocol state machines.
