The Teledyne LeCroy InFusion™ Error Injector and Traffic Modifier is an error injector and traffic modification tool that allows you to verify real-world fault handling for Fibre Channel or EtherNet systems. InFusion can sit unobtrusively in the data path on a live system to programmatically alter or corrupt traffic. InFusion is the ideal tool for stress-testing systems using actual workloads.
InFusion supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. InFusion monitors traffic from both directions in real-time and relies on predefined rules to replace any bit, ordered-set, or parameter with one you specify. InFusion can change traffic when it detects a specific sequence or reaches a designated time interval, yet it requires no complicated scripts, programming, or simulation tools. It supports “Jumbo” events up to 16K.
InFusion can monitor traffic in both directions and act on Events occurring in either direction of the communications link. InFusion can modify traffic in only one direction within a given test Scenario, but that direction can be either from the Originator or from the Responder. InFusion checks the direction of traffic as the Scenario is generated to make sure the direction of Events and Actions are the same as the Scenario. If the direction of data traffic of an Event doesn’t agree with the direction of data traffic set up in the Scenario, a warning message is generated and the Event won’t be generated.
InFusion is specifically designed to verify recovery characteristics within a subsystem. An easy, user friendly menu interface with icons and hyperlinks allows you to create specific test Scenarios in just minutes.
Once an InFusion session starts, the system automatically handles protocol handshaking between devices. InFusion transmits a faithful copy of the original data stream down to the CRC value which, if needed, it recalculates. InFusion allows test engineers to systematically verify error recovery in ways not possible with other test platforms.
