About the A1-400-QD-16-T1P Appliance
The A1-400-QD-16-T1P offers the power of Spirent's award-winning router, switch, application,

Getting Started
A1-400-QD-16-T1P is operated with specialized software designed to help you create and
analyze realistic traffic for determining the operating characteristics of a device, system, or
network under test. Due to the powerful traffic generating capabilities of A1-400-QD-16-T1P,
precautions should be taken when connecting the test ports to an operational network. On an
operational network, such large amounts of traffic can cause network congestion leading to
unexpected results; for example, packet retransmits or drops.
