1 Purpose
Packet Network Loopback Tool & Traffic Analyzer MAKS-EMB is designed
for use during Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks service and repair.
MAKS-EMB tool (hereinafter –the Tool) can function either in its basic
Loopback modification or in extended Analyzer modification (optional).
In Loopback modification, the Tool provides loopback at physical, data
link, networking and transport levels of OIS model and collects
Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet statistics.
The Tool in Analyzer modification provides loopback of different levels. It is
destined for network equipment diagnostic testing in accordance with RFC-
2544 and M.2301 Recommendations. It allows using MAKS-EMB tool during
IP networks repair and commissioning. The Tool is also suitable for computer-
assisted operation.
