RtBrick BNG Blaster
The BNG Blaster is an open-source network tester for access and routing protocols. It can emulate massive PPPoE and IPoE (DHCP) subscribers including IPTV, and L2TP (LNS). There are various routing protocols supported like ISIS and BGP. 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, QoS testing or to measure convergence times. The traffic generator supports millions of separate tracked flows. This allows you to verify every single forwarding state of a full-feed internet routing table. You can also send traffic to every single QoS queue of your service edge router.
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.
A short introduction and a good presentation from DENOG13 can be found on YouTube.
