Line-rate Gigabit Ethernet Media over IP Test Traffic Generation for Converged Networks
The IQMediaStim application is a complete solution for benchmark testing IP networks and components. IQMediaStim produces Gigabits of line-rate streaming media, literally hundreds to thousands of video over IP streams of your choice, with real-time simultaneous modification of IP packets and data payload, perfect for stress testing networks, and network components. The ability to modify, impair and remap streaming content, replicate IP packets, add jitter, modify PCR values, drop N or N of X packets provides engineers unlimited flexibility in stressing networks for a full range of test scenarios. For complete end-to-end testing use IQMediaAnalyzer and IQMediaMonitor for analysis of the IQMediaStim test streams routed through a network node or device under test.
IQMediaStim User Interface is Simple and Quick!
End to End Line-Rate GigE Testing
For complete end-to-end testing IQMediaAnalyzer or IQMediaMonitor can be used for analysis of the IQMediaStim test streams routed through a network node or device under test. A thorough and repeatable benchmarking of any IP network or network element is possible with complete documented results.

Stimulus Modifiers
- Drop packets / one time, drop n packets every n packets
- Vary stream output and PCR bitrate
- Modify MDI (IP Jitter)
IQMediaStim application allows you to modify the data as it is generated by the IneoQuest platform. The user can modify the DF (delay factor) Jitter, IP bitrate, PCR bitrate, drop n packets or drop n every x packets. The unique slider bar control allows quick selection of the number of video streams generated. Chose one to hundreds of video streams by simply sliding the bar from left to right. Each Stimulus Engine allows the generation of line rate GigE video or voice.
IQMediaStim HTML Interface
All IQMediaStim functionality is also available from a simple to use HTML page and is ideal for installation verification, network validation and field commissioning. All critical parameters are available to generate line rate streaming video. The HTML interface supports IQuickStream technology which is a built-in MPEG-2 compliant transport stream.
Singulus G1-T #1 with IQMediaStim generates 100's of video test streams into the network under test while Singulus G1-T #2 with IQMediaMonitor simultaneously measures all the video streams routed through the network. A complete performance verification of the network and involved components is possible.
