So you can use it for +end-to-end BNG and non-BNG router testing. + +You can use the included traffic generator for forwarding verification, which allows you +to test QoS configurations or measure convergence times. + +The traffic generator supports more than a million separate tracked flows. +So you can use this to verify every single forwarding state of a full feed +internet routing table. You can also send traffic for every single QoS queue +of carrier grade BNG hardware. + +The BNG Blaster is used by network operators and vendors of network hard- and software.
