**The open network tester for the IP networking community.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The **BNG Blaster** is an open-source network tester for **access** and **routing** protocols.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originally developed as an access protocol tester, the BNG Blaster has undergone a
|
|
|
|
|
significant evolution, transforming into a comprehensive network testing tool that
|
|
|
|
|
now encompasses both access and routing functionalities. Its scope has expanded beyond
|
|
|
|
|
the assessment of access protocols and now encompasses a broader spectrum, involving
|
|
|
|
|
the evaluation of network functionalities at large. Contrary to its nomenclature,
|
|
|
|
|
the BNG Blaster isn't restricted only to BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) testing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It simulates a massive number of PPPoE and IPoE (DHCP) subscribers, encompassing
|
|
|
|
|
IPTV and L2TP (LNS). Additionally, it supports all common routing protocols such
|
|
|
|
|
as IS-IS, OSPF, LDP and BGP. This allows for comprehensive testing of both BNG
|
|
|
|
|
and non-BNG routers, enabling end-to-end evaluations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The included traffic generator serves various functions. It can be used to verify
|
|
|
|
|
forwarding, conduct QoS tests, and measure convergence times. With the capacity to
|
|
|
|
|
handle millions of separate tracked flows, it allows for thorough verification of
|
|
|
|
|
every forwarding state within a complete internet routing table. Furthermore, it
|
|
|
|
|
enables the transmission of traffic to each specific QoS queue present in
|
|
|
|
|
service edge routers with detailed per-flow statistics like receive rate, loss
|
|
|
|
|
or latency.

The BNG Blaster is used by leading network operators like Deutsche Telekom AG
|
|
|
|
|
with their famous Access 4.0 project, network hard- and software vendors like
|
|
|
|
|
RtBrick and many more.
